Treasures?

I found old jewelry from us and my parents in my drawer.
What a find!
Nah, most of it looks as if it is costume, but I could be wrong I have been wrong before.
It did keep me busy and out of trouble for on and off this afternoon while searching the net.
Three time pieces were included in the find.
One is a bejeweled piece with an image cameo, not a carved ivory one, on its reverse side with the jewels of either real or simulated pearls and diamonds inset in a gold or gold plated circumference around the cameo which is a Norman De Luxe Swiss watch fob that is really a ladies necklace.
Number two and three are both Bulova watches that are mine from my uncle who was an executive with the company and so they could be worth a bit.
Neither work too well right now since the watch for my wrist that I recall once had a black leather band on it well it needs a new battery and Hubby was able to get it out it is an accutron quartz watch, a rectangle one with Roman numerals and with what looks like a sapphire in the stem for the time and I must have had it at least forty years; the third of this group is just a gold tone watch fob again but this is not so elaborate as the last one and it is a Bulova too but a wind one and it did not keep time but it could possibly need an adjustment or a cleaning and its necklace is missing.
I do also have a couple of those lockets that you put your loved ones pictures in and I found one with mine and my brother’s that must have been my mother’s and another with just my parents photo, quite old and of course that had to be mine. Nice little treasures to find on a cold day.
Another interesting piece I found baffles me a bit since my Mother and I both have pierced ears I found clip-ons. I suppose she wore them too. And they are quite ornate with gold tone discs encompassed by silver tone or stainless triangles and within the centers are square green set stones or emeralds, and dangling from the gold discs three on each one clear glass or diamond slender rectangular set stones.
Not really my Mom’s style, any-who… there were two gold tone brooches too.
But fortunately one had a name on it, Coventry, which I do know was a well respected costume jewelry manufacturer.

So far I do not think any of the items have any enormous value but most would claim they have more than that intrinsic value of sentimentality and I am sure they would if I could remember when my mother wore them or if at all…she might have gotten them from someone else is all I am saying, people do that, right?
I just don’t recall except the pieces from my uncle.
As I have mentioned before I do enjoy doing research and if I was in a better frame of mind I probably would have started that type of business, since it would be fun, not work for me.
But then I am not always successful in finding answers and I doubt I would have a clientele that would appreciate that, huh?
When you try to find answers for yourself that’s one thing but for anyone else that’s a whole different story, but of course I would not charge for my services unless I was successful to be legit and honest and I would state that in a contract to be binding, right?
Sounds like I have been thinking about this one, huh?
My research would be of any kind from backgrounds on people to historic to things and accuracy would be my rechecking point of no return.
You make one mistake in any business and there goes your reputation, correct?

Ahhh suppositions and imagining is a wonderful mind game; don’t you think?
More exciting than many I have seen online, sorry folks!

Tonight is one of the last days of the year and fortunately we are being told one of our last night’s of this cold front that has created ungodly frigid weather here in the Sunshine state. Who says we don’t get season’s we got a quick freeze that turned a lot of our flora pretty golden colors and oranges and all those autumnal warm rich tones that all you northerners complain that we never ever get down here, and did I mention the frosty lawns and dock we had?
Yep, we had winter in all its glory and tomorrow folks…guess what we are getting our glorious Florida warmth and sunshine back! Here comes the overnights of just mid-fifties and day time temperatures into the seventies and nearly eighty by the weekend, hooray!
This is what I signed on for, yippy!

On that positive note of a happy future here where I live I wish you all a very happy good night and to all count those blessings and share those overages and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, OK?
