This has been simply generous of people like you to offer easily what a number of us would have distributed for an e book to end up making some bucks for themselves, specifically considering the fact that you might well have done it in case you considered necessary. The strategies in addition worked like a good way to be certain that most people have the identical dreams really like my personal own to figure out many more in respect of this issue. Certainly there are lots of more fun times up front for individuals that looked over your site.<br /><b><a href="https://yalinat.com/collections/jewellery" rel="nofollow">african jewellery</a></b><br />kristinahojholthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03634764279298743078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2651480711748885554.post-74342356612378197832018-12-07T13:29:36.752+02:002018-12-07T13:29:36.752+02:00Outstanding post I really like it. stock tipsOutstanding post I really like it. <a href="http://www.capitalstars.com/tracksheet-stock-tips/" rel="nofollow">stock tips</a>Sonal Jainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18236588393346408413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2651480711748885554.post-14430788144737362472013-12-09T09:02:07.829+02:002013-12-09T09:02:07.829+02:00Dave, More thoughts on your Haglund piece: Since t...Dave, More thoughts on your Haglund piece: Since there is no indication that the Haglund workshop exported their work in the 1950's, it seems likely that it was originally sold in South Africa.<br /> <br />I also have an (undeveloped) interest in African themed costume jewellery - I do think it is a much neglected field of collection, and the pieces I have seen have much charm. Am glad that you're gathering them.

This is according to the granddaughter at the garage sale. This is one of the few pieces of her grandmother's collection she sold. The rest stayed with the family. I had no idea at the time it was so valuable but I could tell it was something special.

It caught my eye first thing and have had no luck until now on the history of the piece. I just got back into coin collecting and buying old designer costume jewelry where I can find it. I am also thinking of teaching myself how to cut stones and make jewelry. This piece was truly a one of a kind find and the craftsmanship is amazing. Thank you again for the information. I have no plans on selling the piece just trying to get as much history and information for my own curiosity. It's truly one of my favorite pieces! Thanks and keep up the outstanding work!<br /><br />DaveH<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2651480711748885554.post-12195034476942852542013-12-04T06:31:53.493+02:002013-12-04T06:31:53.493+02:00Hi Dave, The piece was made by the Haglund worksho...Hi Dave, The piece was made by the Haglund workshop during the mid 1950's. Note the thickness of the clasp and the weight of the piece - silver was used with abandon. Also the links were expertly attached for the time. Matching earrings (consisting of animals mounted in hollow disks) were also made. Possible initial clientele could have been immigrants and tourists? Selling price: Around R 1000. Buying price: R2000 upwards. I would really like to know the provenance of the piece.Is it a family heirloom? <br />Best, FredFredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08076362684798612013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2651480711748885554.post-3220048145976892902013-12-03T22:25:54.098+02:002013-12-03T22:25:54.098+02:00Thank you for the great photos and background info...Thank you for the great photos and background information.
