AmG Specialties Fine and Vintage Jewelry, Art, Collectibles

     Rummaging around yard, garage and estate sales sometimes yields unexpected benefits. One such blessing has been in the finding of an assortment of rather old "souvenir" pieces gathered by folks during long-forgotten vacations or business trips to Mexico, Cuba and other once-exotic destinations. Many of these pieces exhibit a quality in both materials and craftsmanship that today would put them in the realm of lower-eschelon offerings by TIFFANY and the like-but 'way back then were purposed merely to grab the losse change from your pocket.   

Two such items are our "Flamingo" and "Burro" pins we've just listed on eBaY. A wonderfully crafted pair; they're both like peeking thru a window onto the tourist trade in pre-WWII Mexico. Obviously mass-produced, but yet displaying a wonderful detail in both the casting and finishing. The silver itself is such a gorgeous mirror luster (hard to come by today in lower cost items), that one just knows it's more than just sterling silver! The use of a small piece of GREEN TURQUOISE for the eyes is the master stroke that sets these apart from hundreds of other souvenir pieces.  

     As noted, we've got these on eBaY along with several other vintage pieces from Mexico. If you recognise any one of them, and could add to our knowledge of their history, we'd be gratified to hear from you. Please feel free to contact us by eBaY messaging (mmoran0513) or regular email. 

     With the beginning of the new year comes our renewed committment to bring to you the best in jewelry cleaning and maintenance products-namely, CONNOISSEURS products-at the absolute best prices possible. Further, we'll do our best to always get them to you at the LOWEST PRICES on eBaY! To this end, we're continuing our "quantity discount" program for ALL CONNOISSEURS ITEMS. Plainly stated-the more you buy, the lower the price! Nothing out of the ordinary here-this is how business is done all over. If you buy 2, we'll give you a better price than if you buy one. If youy buy three, we'll do better for you than we did for 2...and at FOUR, you'll get it for less yet!  (If you want more than four, message us-we'll work something out). Further, you can "mix n' match" a little-any items with the SAME PRICE will get the SAME DISCOUNT (you can buy two SILVER CLOTHS and two GOLD CLOTHS and get the savings for buying FOUR). I don't think it gets better than this.

     We do our best to 'police' the pricing of these items, but we can occasionally miss something. If you see the CONNOISSEURS items we offer for less somewhere on eBaY, please let us know.
