We’ve been slowly going through boxes of my late mom’s stuff, and most of it has been the usual odds and ends (think newspaper clippings and half-used tape dispensers). But today I opened an old suitcase pocket and found something wrapped in paper towels… and wow. It’s definitely not junk. I’m going to get it appraised, and I’ll probably pass it on to one of my sisters since it’s not really my style, but I’m still kind of stunned. A cursory search shows that this was likely part of their "Allegra" collection. This is a similar piece that sold at auction for 29,000 Euros... Jesus. #FoundObjects #FamilyStories #UnexpectedFinds #Decluttering #Jewelry
