This haul came today from the same shop where I bought my beautiful fish coin bank and my funny little pitcher. All but the two necklaces were stuffed inside a TINY white box without a lid. The necklaces were just draped over other cheap costume necklaces hanging from a tabletop display.
The earrings in the 3rd photo are 8kt white gold, marked .333 AB.
Scorpion pendant - .835 silver
Cufflinks - .835 silver. I think these are beautiful. 1940s, perhaps.
Hoop earrings:
1 pair marked K&L (Germany)
diamond cut earrings: 925 & A+D, which is Andreas Daub, Pforzheim Germany.
Twist earrings: .835 and a DR 3 * mark. (??)
Textured hoop earrings - .925 and FB
Long chain necklace - EKSTRO .835
Crystal & Sterling pendant/chain - .925 and funny maker's mark...
Thanks for looking!

Hit the mother load here!
melaniej - yeah, baby!!!
rucklcz - I certainly did! When I first went into the shop I did my usual rummaging through the stuff on the counter. I walked away, but then my brain started nagging me to go and look again. Sure enough, under a heap of eyeglass cases was a very small (really small!) white box without a lid. The box was stuffed with this jewelry. Since those who work there don't know silver from shineola, I got this jewelry for almost nothing. I had a ball sorting it all out and examining it. Imagine my surprise when I discovered those earrings are gold.....
Yeah!!! Happy 300th post :-D
nutsa - that is the top of a big Tupperware covered bowl - bought years ago at a flea market! I keep the treats for the dogs in it. :-)
Wish we had boxes of things to trawl through on the thrift store counters here. Mind you they do leave lovely lucite bangles out hanging on a jewellery display. Congrats on your lovely finds for today Efesgirl.
Bonnie another great shopping spree! Our op shop people are eagle eyed and miss nothing! I even saw a Monet brooch the other day, marked, and they had priced it at $25. That's about their going rate. 925 seems to start at $40, no matter what it is.
Those cufflinks are fantastic but it is all really good!
racer - those people are nuts.
