I got this at Goodwill! It was part of a jewelry lot in the bid cabinet, and I put too much on it, but I got it. There were other nice pieces in the lot--three necklaces made of semi-precious stone beads--garnet, turquoise and that agate stuff with the iridescence in it. Also, a copper bracelet, and several East Indian-looking bracelets made up of multiple strands of small glass beads on wires, and several pieces of contemporary costume jewelry that I can probably sell on eBay to recoup what I spent.
But, this necklace of amber is the cat's meow!
That's beautiful! As we say here 'Health to wear!'
ReplyDeleteI love those shops! I never have enough money go go wild, though.
ReplyDeleteNeither do I! Still, I've bid on several items in their auctions over the years. Goodwill Industries is a huge chain of thrift shops here, that uses the shops to raise money for programs to educate disabled people for employment. As thrift shops go, they are a bit pricey because of that. When they get really good items donated, they auction them off. The even have on line auctions. Somewhere I have a moon rock I got in one of their auctions. It went for next to nothing, as some idiot spilled lamp oil on the documentation between the time I saw it and the time it wound up in the auction.
ReplyDeletevery nice! I love stuff like that! good find
ReplyDeletecheck out newest post for a really good laugh! I just had to post it as I never saw it before and it made me laugh really hard!
Ronni,
ReplyDeleteI hope that amber doesn't have any old DNA embedded in it.
Your neighbors wouldn't be too happy living in a new Jarissic park!!!!!
None of my other amber things have sprouted dinosaurs, so It's probably OK.
