Jewellery was the theme for our November gathering and such a collection there was! There were many brooches in all shapes, sizes and themes – animals, birds, flowers, geometric, Christmas etc. There were matching sets of necklaces, brooches, rings and earrings. One beautiful set was a symmetrical setting of Burmese jade and pearls.
Watches also featured; some inherited and others as 21st birthday presents (long ago!). There were two Rolex watches from the 1930’s and a 1920’s pocket watch with the keys for winding still attached.
Necklaces included a locket with a picture of a loved one inside, a cross; and, a long and pretty carved jade-like one. There were also rings some featuring opals.
Our next gathering with be at 10.00am on 6th February 2023 - please bring along to the first session one or two of your favourite items and be prepared to show and tell.
A theme to come during the year will be recipe books - old ones and favourites. Also, old individual inherited recipes that remain family favourites.
We would welcome more participants in our group. We are not serious antique collectors; just a happy group of people reminiscing on a theme
