THESE NEXT
TWO LOTS BOTH HAVE ANTIQUE ROSE GOLD FILLED JEWELRY THAT HAS LITTLE BITTY BITS OF BLACK ENAMEL INLAYS.  THESE WERE OFTEN (IF NOT SOLELY?) USED AS MOURNING JEWELRY, BUT ARE SOME OF THE FINEST DESIGNS IN THE HISTORY OF JEWELRY
.
I BELIEVE EACH OF THESE PIECES TO BE FROM THE VICTORIAN PERIOD.
THE FOUR PIECES IN THIS LOT INCLUDE:
THE LARGEST COLLAR STUD YOU SHOULD EVER NEED, WITH THE MOST BEAUTIFUL DETAILS YOU COULD EVER HOPE FOR.  IT SHOWS JUST A WEE BIT OF WEAR TO THE GOLD FILL ON ITS SIDES, PLUS THE BACK PART HAS BEEN PRESSED INTO THE BACK OF THE RECTANGLE PART.
THIS HAS CAUSED ONE SIDE TO SLIGHTLY "POP" OUT AND TO SEPARATE FROM ITS SOLDERED EDGE (SEE PHOTO #4).  EVEN SO, THIS ONE IS IN VERY GOOD (ANTIQUE) CONDITION, OVERALL.
THE LARGEST OF THE REMAINING PIECES, WHICH HAS A FAIRLY UNIQUE DESIGN ON ITS TOP.  IT SHOWS NO WEAR TO THE GOLD FILL ON THAT TOP, BUT DOES ON THE SIDES A BIT, AND SHOWS EVEN MORE ON THE UNDERSIDE OF THAT TOP, AND ESPECIALLY ON THE BOTTOM OF THE SMALLER BACK PART (SEE PHOTOS).  EVEN SO, IT'S STILL IN VERY GOOD CONDITION, OVERALL.
THE NEXT PIECE HAS THREE RINGS ON IT, MADE FOR A MEMBER OF THE "ODD FELLOWS".  IT'S MARKED "PAT JULY 29 1879" AND THIS IMPRINT LOOKS LIKE IT'S JUST A FEW DAYS OLD (OTHER THAN A LITTLE BIT OF TARNISHING).
THIS ONE SHOWS WEAR TO THE GOLD FILL ON THE SIDES AND ON THE RIM ON TOP, PLUS IT'S MISSING QUITE A BIT OF THE BLACK ENAMEL (SEE PHOTOS).  ALL IN ALL, IT'S STILL IN VERY GOOD +/- CONDITION, OVERALL.
THE OTHER SMALLER STUD IS SIGNED "H A & CO", AND UNLIKE THE OTHERS, IT HAS NO BLACK ENAMEL DETAILS (BUT DOES HAVE A SEED PEARL).  IT IS A LITTLE BIT CROOKED IN ITS BACK, BUT IT SHOWS MINOR WEAR AND IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION, OVERALL.
THE TOTAL WEIGHT OF THE LOT IS 9.95 GRAMS.
PLEASE NOTE:  I AM NOT A JEWELER, OR ANY OTHER TYPE OF GEM EXPERT, SO I CAN'T (AND DON'T TRY TO) ACCURATELY GRADE GEMS, OR TRY TO PERFECTLY SIZE THEM.  I WILL GIVE MY BEST EFFORT TO GIVE YOU MY "BEST GUESS" ON THESE TYPES OF THINGS, GIVEN MY OWN PERSONAL EXPERIENCES, BUT THEY ARE NOT GUARANTEES, AT ALL.  BUT, IF THERE ARE GEMSTONES IN THIS PARTICULAR LISTING, THEY HAVE BEEN ELECTRONICALLY TESTED, AND ARE GUARANTEED TO BE AS LISTED.  ALSO, I AM WEARING MY OWN WEDDING RING IN THESE PHOTOS, SO IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING A RING (OR RINGS) IN THIS LISTING, IT WILL BE FOR THE OTHER RING(S) SHOWN IN THE PHOTOS.  THANKS!
THE PICTURES ARE TO BE CONSIDERED AS PART OF THE DESCRIPTION.  PLEASE REVIEW THEM FOR A BETTER IDEA OF VARIETY AND CONDITION, AND I WOULD BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE.  ENJOY!
SHIPPING WILL BE
.25 INSURED USPS FIRST CLASS
, AND I WOULD BE MORE THAN WILLING TO COMBINE SHIPPING
.
I DON'T OFFER A RETURN POLICY, BUT, I WILL STAND BEHIND MY LISTINGS.  IF I MAKE A MISTAKE ON MY LISTING, OR I MISUNDERSTAND AN ITEM OR MISS A
RELEVANT FLAW ON THE ITEMS UP FOR BID, I WILL DO ANYTHING IN MY POWER TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT FOR THE BUYER, SO BID WITH CONFIDENCE!!!
THANKS FOR LOOKING!
