I'm a mom with two beautiful daughers (3,5 and 5 years old). I'm always looking for that hidden gem, trying to collect vintage jewelry on a budget.

  1. Make sure you pack some comfortable shoes to walk with. Here in Ghent and in some other historic cities we still have some streets where the road is paved with a type of tones which we call 'kinderkop...
  2. Great idea valentino97, I didn't even read that shaming part when I looked it up. I always want to have the last word, my boyfriend/husband says its a disease.
  3. poison peanuts LOL, thats the name for a comic book!
  4. valentino thanks for your loving and thanks to all for your nice comments.
  5. I had to lookup 'egging someone', because Im not familiar with that term. So I learned something new today! Thanks for showing your nice rings, and you should really put some simple lip balm in them!...
  6. Bellin68, you are right! If you are a convict, make sure you live in Belgium :-)
  7. Thanks Agram, Moonstonelover and mustangtony for the love
  8. Jail is very good here in Belgium, you get free food, drink, cable tv...And when you murder someone you only have to spend 3 years or so in jail. Here in the town I live in we have a jail in a very ni...
  9. Thanks Bellin68 and vertraio50 for your loving and the comment. I didn't know that, I will point it up ;-)
  10. Omg I was just out of bed when I wrote that comment...I think that would actually work! :-) Ok, dont do it, I would be an accomplice! LOL
  11. The crystals look aurora borealis to me. That would date it after 1955. So you are right about your date.
  12. You could try to put some grounded peanut in it.And then you have to find an enemy who is allergic to peanuts. ;-) Love the rings!
  13. Zowie, I agree with davyd286, The center stones looks like glass because there seems to be a white 'cloud' in it...
  14. Agram, I also think its more recent then art deco. But its a lovely necklace
  15. Thanks Moonstonelover, Kerry, blunderbuss, vetraio50, mustangtony and BELLIN68 for your loving and the comment

  17. Thanks Moonstonelover, freiheit,mustangtony, antiquarius,Agram and vetraio for loving my necklace
  18. Dag Marga, indeed I tested them with my teeth and they are real. You are right they will return in fashion one day. I do have some nice pearl strings that I like but they are not my favorite type of j...
  19. Agram, I have seen that method before and I think it could be late Victorian or Edwardian. I just can't seem to find any info on the internet about it. The system your ring has is far more comfortable...
  20. Silver costs 576.45 €/kg on the moment. So yes you did well. I never look at the silver price when I buy jewelry. I just make sure I never overpay. But I think if you buy silver or gold for invest...
  21. Thanks freiheit, vetraio50, mustangtony, bratjdd and Moonstonelover for your loving and the comment!
  22. Thanks valentino97 and Moonstonelover for your loving and thanks valentino97 for the mothers day wishes. My daughters had some nice drawings for me!
  23. Its more like a shade of brown, not red enough to be garnet and not yellow enough to be citrine...

  25. Thanks vetraio50, kerry, mustangtony and petey for the love
  26. They will make very nice earrings. You have a stunning collection!
  27. I wore one like that when I was pregnant. Mine had some filigree adornments and I got it from a trip to Bali and I took some others home for some friends. These bola pendants are usually made for preg...

  35. Thanks fo your comments valentino97, I never noticed it gets dull.
  36. Thanks a lot Agram for your love and your comments. And you are right, there are some very nice malachite postings on CW. Maybe I forgot about them because they seem so modest when you look at all the...
  37. Thanks bratjdd, valentino97, Agram, vetraio50 and Amberrose for the love. Valentino97, you are probably right. I find it hard to put a date on my own jewelry sometimes. :-)
  38. 800, 835 and 925 are silver marks you often see here in Belgium and Germany. So maybe it says 835.
  39. Thanks Agram, bratjdd, freiheit, vetraio50, Moonstonelover and Amberrose for the love
  40. Thanks manikin, moonstonelover and mustangtony for the love
  41. Nice ring. Its a bit like the gold baby bracelet I posted earlier. I should advice to put it on a chain around the baby's neck and not on his finger...a baby could swallow it if its such a small obje...
  42. Thanks AmberRose and BELLIN68 for your nice comments!, Thanks Agram, Bellin, AmberRose and mustangtony for loving my ring. I wear it regularly, I try to change my rings a few times a week :-)

  46. Thanks valentino97, I got intrested when I inherited a MOP necklace from my grandmother. But I'm a hoarder and now I have dozens of MOP jewelry pieces.
  47. What a nice idear! a great memory of that day.
  48. They make me think of the little fish in Disney's Pinoccio movie. They might be from the same period (1940's).
  49. Natuurlijk niet Marga, ze zijn nu van jou. Ik ben trouwens wel erg benieuwd :-) Maar je moet mss niet zeggen dat je ze van mij hebt als je wil.
  50. So sweet! I adore the mushroom! I would wear it all the time it was mine. Their back doesnt look that old I must say...the metal looks so crispy and new. I bet the grandmother didnt really wear them ...
