The tail feathers were coloured with blue and green but a fair bit has rubbed off, unfortunately. It belonged to my grandmother, but as she was born in 1899 and died in 2000 it doesn&#39;t really help date the brooch!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109843311302211541.post-83046420788922172642012-05-26T12:17:01.909+01:002012-05-26T12:17:01.909+01:00I have a very intricate small gold dish on legs with the poodle and pearl sitting on the side, with mirella signed on the bottom, it has the gold outer which shaped like the gold bands from the bronze age, with filigree work to the centre.pathfinderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16568849649483271014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109843311302211541.post-51078945572705992992012-05-04T16:02:40.303+01:002012-05-04T16:02:40.303+01:00I have acquired this book and it is signed by <br /> Simon Wilson has any one else got one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109843311302211541.post-35778360890349826732012-05-04T14:15:38.474+01:002012-05-04T14:15:38.474+01:00This is a definitive guide to cleaning your gemstone jewellery.

I am an ebayer myself and I have been clearing out my mothers items now she is getting older. I have a Sphinx bracelet and the matching earrings. They both have the Sphinx signature in a cartouche with a unique number. I would dearly love to find an example. When I goodgled it only one image came up for the exact same bracelet on imageevent ( I recall it was Flickr site) it is now no longer available. I suppose my query is that in your expertise, given that I have ahd these for a good 30 years is whether they are genuine I believe they areAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109843311302211541.post-59827893926254380122012-03-15T14:16:52.401Z2012-03-15T14:16:52.401ZHello, Ive had a number of brooches with the BJL stamped in a square.

It was in my collection which is massive it is stamped BJL on the square bit. I have no idea when I got it as I have a good few thousand pieces of costume jewellery. Anyone know yet who this company is and its history.

My mom was given this necklace in the 70s as a graduation gift. She planned on handing it down to me, I&#39;m now 32, then my daughter, and so on. She was robbed 2 years ago of all her jewelry in a home invasion &amp; I&#39;ve been looking for this necklace ever since! If you have any info on where I can purchase, please email me!
