The 12 Fingered Man Louise and Stuart’s Amazing India Travel

I, Stuart Sims, first met the ’12 Fingered Man’ in Udiapur in 1989. In 2007, (Featured on The Travel Channel’s l ‘What’s your Trip’ Episode 7 broadcast January 10-2009). Louise and I found ourselves wandering around the busy little shopping district of Udiapur. We always have our eyes open to discover any new and interesting items to sell on our soon to be published web-site, www.PortalToIndia.com so when we noticed some unusual perfume bottles in a shop window, we went in to explore.

Does anyone know how to remove black antiquing from sterling silver jewelry?

Antique jewelry question: Mystery bracelet?

have a fairly heavy, dramatic bracelet that is maybe Victorian, looks old. It probably dates from before 1900, at least.

The original clasp was probably where any marks were, if there were any to begin with. The fold-over Deco clasp I would guess is a replacement and looks plated.
