Who wants to see my haul from today?

This is lovely @stracci2000! Great find!

Its so pretty and wearable!
I'm wondering about Helen...
I'm really surprised that the gold plating hasn't worn off after all this time.
I guess it hadn't been worn much.
 
I found this sweet gold filled charm bracelet in the thrift store, $1.00.
How could I leave it there?
Forstner Chain Corporation was founded in 1920, so we can estimate age to be about 100 years old.

Ooo, I have a good one!! I won this "vintage gold filled pendant" on ebay for $44. It's actually a Georgian sentimental or memorial piece from the late 18th century (c. 1780-1800). I've been wearing it on my endlessly useful necklace of itty-bitty fw pearls. I'm making it its own thread; details there.

Oh please tell us more hahaha you know these days gold jewellery is the symbol of luxury.

The other day I went to try on a Belcher necklace and everything was silver infused plated gold $1800 AUD / $1200 USD or the 9K gold version was $6000 AUD / $4000 USD for <30g. It's crazy! Lucky for us we know better haha.
 
I bought something small the other day...

It was sold as 9K gold.. Didn't mention anything about the stones and given the price, it's probably cz lol.

Initially I thought it was a leaf but was told by chatgpt that it's actually a quill feather.

It is pretty no matter what it is made of, and it looks well made, and nicely finished. Is it a lapel pin? A hair accessory? Or even a pendant?

It's actually a pendant. It already has a bale at the end.
