That is incredible lovely!

That is incredible lovely!

There were three gold charms. A tiny teapot, a telephone and this. The other two were more suitable for a charm bracelet. But they were only $36 each. For 14k! Crazy, right?
So I might go back......

Ooh if it's a nice teapot, you should totally get it! I adore teapot charms.

Here's a silver Victorian one of mine (with a piece of bloodstone set into the base) and I love it to bits:

You, madame, are an enabler. The dial turns!

I did not get the teapot! It was not as nice as yours! And it was smaller. However, I suspect it will be there if I change my mind in the future!

Ive been wanting for her to turn up on this thread!
How long had you been looling for an egg pendant?
Well worth the wait id say !
I hope you get lots of wear out of her
She was a steel !

The telephone charm is a cutie so I'd say you've made the right choice!

Thank you, it took me a while to find this one and I still have regrets for missing out on another two that were similar and would have made good companions to it. Someday I'll have a collection of teapot/coffee pot charms...

That is so cute!

That is so cute!

This is the one time on PS i would be tempted to also say something is cute
Because that little baby telephone is just so darn cute @stracci2000.

Daisy, it says "Hello' and "I love you"
So adorable!

You made me go back for it....you said I had to or I'd regret it always, remember?

Of course! Who wants the burden of reverse buyers remorse?!

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

Daisy, it says "Hello' and "I love you"
So adorable!

That is the sweetest wee thing ever !
I could see the love you bit but was wondering what it said

Someone must have received it as a gift

how could someone give that up ?
When it should be treasured for ever either on a braclete, necklace or just as a wee pretty miniature at the front of a china cabinet
I could see grand children wanting to play with it - well 45 years ago my cousin and i would have wanted to play with it so badly !!

Once again its up to you to do the loving

I'm going to put it on a chain after tea (dinner!) Haha!

*(A sigh of sweetness overload*)

Ahhhhh

 

[YadaYadaYada]

Love that egg you found and the telephone is the cutest charm I’ve ever seen @stracci2000

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

This little phone is now (to me anyway) the benchmark of cute !
And I shell refer back to it often

if something isnt as awsome and more importantly adorable as this little golden phone then it aint cute to me !
End of story !

Perhaps not any neckline, but it would go great with my tummy!

FREAKING gorgeous!! score!!!

 

[stracci2000]

From the antique mall, rose cut garnets, gold filled. Must've been an earring at one time and converted to a pendant. There was 100 years of grime on it!

I wonder if a sister inherited the other one
How fascinating
Shows how beautiful a red garnet can be
great find (of course we expect nothing less of you)

Daisy, I couldn't leave it there! I had to take it home. I strung it on a different chain, that original one was too heavy.
I suspect it dates to about 1890-1910 or thereabout.

I hope its twin has been as lucky
or
Maybe the origonal owner lost the other one
Maybe she loved it so much she had to have it made into a pendant so she could still wear and enjoy it

if only these pieces could talk
- you would never get any sleep - they would have you up all night telling you their life stories

And the cups and saucers, plates and cutlery would never shut up - it would be a party every night at your place !

I'm sure it was loved because it was turned into a pendant.
Sometimes I look at my really old English transferware dishes and I wonder what kind of food was served on them!

Roast beef and Yorkshire pudding if they were lucky, cucumber sandwiches if they weren't.

I did not find this haul- this haul found me. I had an aunt, now deceased, who was a bit of a hoarder, and enjoyed the many Sun City, AZ rummage sales for years. She had three sons, only one was married, and that wife does not fancy costume jewelry. So after her death, boxes of items were sent to my mother (her sister) and I was allowed to gather what I liked before the rest was donated to the church rummage sale. Most of it was crappy gold-colored base metal. But, I did manage to find these:

F&B Sterling chain and Sterling Krementz lorgnette folding glasses


Pennino rhinestone suite


Monet daisy choker


Regency crystal necklace and earrings (not signed, but notes left by Aunt)



Trifari leaf pin, Florenzo earrings, illegibly stamped hummingbird pin, roadrunner pin, and a brass(?) and purple glass(?) bar pin


Rhinestone bracelet and pins
