An antique Edwardian H. Wexel sterling silver wedding band ring.
Wedding bells and flowers go all the way around the ring. Very pretty.
Marked "STERLING" and also marked with the Indian Chief Head
hallmark of H. Wexel & Co.. NOT a heavy band at all. The ring is
a size 7. I do not recommend trying to re-size this ring, as it will
disrupt the pattern's flow. This ring dates to around 1900.
H. Wexel & Co. was in business from the 1880s to 1907. I have sold
some Uncas wedding bands from the 1930s with a very similar pattern.
So the Wexel band pre-dates them.
Measurements:
Size: 7 (Please keep in mind that wider bands fit somewhat smaller)
Width: 5/16"
Weight: 2 grams
Condition:
---There is some wear to the ring due to age.
Please keep in mind that colors will vary slightly on different devices.

Vintage Early Plastic Bead Necklace - 18 In. - Yellow - Knotted - Sterling Silver Flower Clasp
This is a vintage yellow early plastic bead necklace. The beads are knotted in between and are graduated in size. Early plastics are not my area of expertise. I am not sure what type of plastic this is. The beads look like they are molded and not carved. I can see seams on some of the beads. Some of the beads look worn and I can see what looks like age cracks in some of the beads. They have a shimmer to them and a marbled look. Judging from the string used and the sterling silver flower clasp, I would say these date to the 1930s or 1940s. Possibly a very early form of moonglow beads. Please look at all photos and make your decision accordingly. Selling as is.
Measurements:
Length: 18"
Weight: 27.4 grams
Condition:
---There is wear to the beads.
---Some of the beads have what look to be age cracks.

For Repair Antique Victorian Locket - Enamel - Tri Color - 1860s to 1870s
*****This is an antique Victorian locket for repair or for a project. It is missing
the pin stem and the bale at the top. If repaired, this could be worn as a pendant
or a brooch. It looks like there was an earlier repair to the pin, as there is a roll
over safety clasp still in place. *****
Now about the locket. It is a tri color piece. Green, pink and yellow color metal.
I do believe that some of the pieces are gold. The main base of the piece looks to
be rolled gold. I have not tested any of it. You can see wear to what I believe to
be rolled gold. (See Pics) The center piece is hand painted enamel. There are
applied green leaves. Applied flowers. There is a seed pearl set in a pronged
setting at the bottom. There is an empty setting at the top. Most likely held
a pearl as well.
On the back is the locket or hidden compartment. To open, just pry it open
with your fingernail. It contains the original glass and paper. This piece dates
to the 1860s to 1870s.
IMPORTANT about Condition:
-----Missing bale
-----Missing pin stem
-----Missing one stone or pearl
-----Some discoloration and wear to the metal
Measurements:
2 " by 1 1/8" (at widest point)
