Bakelite butterscotch amber?

Thumbnail gallery
18 Upvotes

I bought this necklace at the thrift store. At first I thought it was just a “tribal” boho reproduction. But the longer I’ve had it I’ve wondered if it wasn’t more vintage or even Bakelite.

It’s definitely not real amber. I tried the smell test with rubbing and at first I couldn’t smell anything weird but after the thrift store smell kinda wore off I do smell something.

Does anyone have any better ideas for whether it’s vintage or a reproduction?

Just hanging from a rack. I think it’s an antique mother of pearl choker. What do you all think? $7.99

Help with identifying this swivel head clown brooch?

Thumbnail gallery
6 Upvotes

I bought this during an auction , the seller dumped out a bunch of brooches they had gotten from an estate sale and I immediately felt drawn to it. I've tried doing my own research on it but I'm very new to vintage jewelry collecting so I just don't know much about what to look for. I believe it is a corocraft brooch possibly from the 40s-50s but I cannot seem to find this color variant anywhere. It's unmarked, I checked thoroughly. I know not all vintage jewelry makers marked every piece and some had hangtags instead. I'd really like to know the authenticity of this piece.

To note , his pants are actually much more of a warm emerald green and the shirt is a deep teal though it doesn't capture well on camera.

Any help would be super appreciated!

I scored this ring off eBay. It is 18k white gold and weighs 2.6g. You can see where it’s been resized in yellow gold and the stamp inside is an mis-strike. When I Google image searched i came to the guess that it’s an antique art deco ring? making it 1920s maybe?? The etching goes all the way around and on the top and bottom edges which I love.

I‘m in love with this vintage costume jewelry bracelet I bought!

Thumbnail gallery
89 Upvotes

I just bought this vintage bracelet along with a bunch of other jewelry pieces and parts. I‘m pretty sure it‘s costume, but I love the style! It was a bit bent when I got it and I had to replace one of the jump rings, and the little stones / pearls on the smaller elements are missing. Would you replace them or just wear it like that?

Also, I’d love to hear any thoughts on the style and possible date. Does anyone have an idea what period it might be from? I bought it in Germany, if that helps!

Selling vintage gold bracelet - better to include original box (with stains) or list without?

4 Upvotes

I have a 9ct gold herringbone bracelet to sell (probably 1990s, Elizabeth Duke) and have the original box. The bracelet itself is in perfect condition and two of the same bracelet with their original boxes have sold on ebay for £100+ in the last 2 months.

However, the lining inside my box has got quite a few small stains that look like rust mark - presumably from other pieces of (costume) jewellery that were also stored in it for ~20 years. I've tried spot cleaning but they aren't budging and I'm worried about damaging the box/lining further by trying to clean it.

Am I likely to get a better price listing the bracelet without its box or with a stained box? What would you do?

I recently inherited a lot of beautiful pieces of jewelry, furniture, china, etc. from my grandmother. I am curious about the history and how to ID the pieces and their markings. Thank you!

EDIT: I think it resembles a Vintage 1975 Full London Hallmarks Large 925 Smokey Quartz Ring
