I spotted this one today. its been raining so my time out with my MD has been slow. but i got that treasure hunting bug in me so i headed out to a local 2nd hand store. this time there was not alot to look at jewelry wise, but amoungst some fake pearly necklaces i spotted one that looked different from the rest. i checked it out and saw a stamp mark on the clasp. to tiny for me to really see. all i saw was the indent of the stamp. so i figured why not and bought it. then i went to another store and "tested" there magnifying glasses. come to find out the mark said 925. so i took it to have it checked out. it is fresh water pearls with garnet strung on .925. Price I paid was a whopping $1.99 wish there had been more.

I was talking with the worker who was behind the counter helping me and I had mentioned how there really isnt alot of jewelry. she commented to the fact of most of the real jewelry...non costume items...usually dont even make it out to the floor. so to find anything marked is luck. go figure. maybe i should get a job working in the back.

Guess I will have to start paying more attention. Probably have passed up some great finds over the years.

One of the local 2nd hand shops put all the jewelry in 1gl bags that sale for 9.99 ea. I have found lots of 10 and 14 ct gold lots of .925 tons of working watches. They only have one or two bags a week and I get most.
