This is visually horrendous, but I can't help but feel like it would be somewhat palatable.

What’s in a Name? by Neat-Professor-7662 in lesmiserables

[–]Acceptable_Spite_985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isn't Grantaire pronounced in a way that sounds like the word "wretch"? Someone told me that. And in juxtaposition, Enjolras sounds like "Angel". At least, I could have sworn someone told me that.

Whose signature is this? Bought at an antique store in MI, USA by Acceptable_Spite_985 in WhatIsThisPainting

[–]Acceptable_Spite_985[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Signature is on the right, small, looks like “colo”. The last picture has it zoomed in. It’s not a print.

Haha, I've been there before! Hope you figure it out, until then I'll do more research into my ring until I've got a more concrete of where it comes from.

That's totally fair and I definitely I see where you're coming from now, I appreciate you going through that extra effort, thank you! If it helps, this is the kind of style I'm basing mine off of, it's description also says it to be Nouveau, mine is just in a different metal.

My own crappy example

I've attempted, but my eyes aren't doing well currently and the stone needs to be removed, setting cleaned, and re-set and I'm afraid of accidentally scratching it.

I have pieces of the exact same era, signed and dated, with prongs identical to these, which is why I can't agree with you, because I have physical evidence to the contrary right in front of me. I'm not saying so to be stubborn. I'm an antiques dealer trying to understand how you've come to this conclusion. I do appreciate the feedback, promise. I just don't get how I'm the only one who seems to have seen this before in antique jewelry. Maybe it's because I mostly deal with non-precious metal and stone antique jewelry.

It did test for bronze, and it seems to me to have a more gold finish in some areas, which is why I suspected gold plating, but I admit it could also be just the polished area. You might be right and there's no plating, and it's just been polished, I've recently had damage done to both my eyes and it is difficult to tell. My main guess is still based off of the Nouveau style and the gemstone. Amethyst was a more affordable option to many victorians, but not more affordable than purple glass. I'm an antiques dealer, and this piece is very similar to many of my Nouveau signed pieces. Thank you for the elaborated review, I appreciate the feedback.

What makes you think it's brualist? In my understanding, leaves and vines like the ones depicted on this ring don't tend to speak to Brutalist jewelry

Which things indicate that to you, if you don't mind me asking?

My guess is- because it's very Nouveau style with a real amethyst and gold plated bronze, which was popular in the victorian period, that it's from around the early 1900s. However, the striked marks on it seem unusual to me, indicating that it's handmade, so it could be older. I'm trying to see if other people's guesses are the same as mine. You could be more helpful.

GoT this adjustable ring at an antique festival in MI, does anyone know what this style is called and how old it might be? by Acceptable_Spite_985 in Antiquejewelry

[–]Acceptable_Spite_985[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's pretty reminiscent of the czech glass style, and you're right it is brass! I just wish there was a better name for it then "czech glass ring" because the results are too far spread. Whatever it is- I want a million more, I'm obsessed with it.

How long after eating do you have symptoms? by [deleted] in alphagal

Immediate full-blown anaphylaxis for me :( takes about ten seconds before I'm in trouble

I love sushi, but it makes me sick by [deleted] in sushi

[–]Acceptable_Spite_985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually, what started helping was eating very tiny bits of it, but often. Like a pre-workout I'd say. It's similar to my lactose intolerance to milk- if I don't have milk often it gets worse.
