tillie-- thank you! my grandma gave that ring to my mom, & mom gave it to me for my birthday. I have always loved it. now I just need to get great grandmother's yellow diamond!:graucho: (yes, that is my christmas mani! SIL painted the red with silver tips.)

Monica-- I am VERY grateful to have the antique tibetan pieces that I have...they are truly treasures! I have another extremely cool necklace, but it was thread with string which broke recently. I will re-string it & post pics. I didn't go to the gem/jewelry show this past september (trying to limit my spending), & I really regret it.

:D LOL! I agree with every word from Tillie! How special to receive a ring that used to be from your great grandmother! And what a refined and modern taste she must have had. I love the black flower as well. It's very Chanel.

japster, your jewelry is breathtaking! That is one of my favorite periods because of the intricacy of the design and work involved. Wear them in good health!

I hoe this works. i could not figure out how to take an inside pic with my daughter's camera so i resorted to the old iphone.
the diamond watch was given to my mother by my father when I was born. It originally had a black silk cord but she changed it to a diamond band in the 60's maybe. It has tremendous sentimental value to me. (and no, they were not called *push presents* then since ladies were knocked out and didn't know from pushing LOL). the watch on the slide chain , i bought over 40 years ago with money i was given by my grandmother so i would always have a special piece to remember her by. the full figured cameo is pink gold and was my very first piece of real jewelry. i always did and still do love cameos and collected them. the platinum/diamond/sapphire pin was also given to me by my mother. very poor quality pic but a lovely piece. i have other pieces but do not know where i hid them so if i can i will find them and post.

GRRR only some of them would post.
