Tykk\u00e4\u00e4n kaivella kirppiksill\u00e4 pieni\u00e4 romulaatikoita. Joskus niist\u00e4 voi l\u00f6yt\u00e4\u00e4 aarteita. Olen l\u00f6yt\u00e4nyt sellaisista mm. hopeiset 70-luvun riipuskorvikset 0,50 \u20ac ja kansallispuvun hopeisen rintasoljen 1 \u20ac. Korviksista puuttui keskelt\u00e4 kivet tai mahdollisesti pienet helmet, eiv\u00e4t siis mitk\u00e4\u00e4n hirve\u00e4n arvokkaat, mutta ovat silti varsin kauniit. Kansallispuvun rintasoljet ovat uutena aika arvokkaita, isoimmat jopa useita satoja euroja. Viimeisin l\u00f6yt\u00f6 on t\u00e4llaisesta romulaatikosta kaiveltu rintakoru. Leimojen perusteella oli mahdollista selvitt\u00e4\u00e4 ett\u00e4 koru on 50-luvulta. Pitoisuusleima 875 paljastaa ett\u00e4 kyse on ven\u00e4l\u00e4isest\u00e4 tuotannosta. Koru on kullattua hopeaa, kuulemma suosittu tapa it\u00e4rajan tuolla puolen. Korun neulaa on korjattu tinaamalla ja se alkoikin heti murtua muutaman k\u00e4ytt\u00f6kerran j\u00e4lkeen. Itse en huomannut korussa mit\u00e4\u00e4n muuta erikoista mutta antiikkiliikkeess\u00e4 sanottiin ett\u00e4 yksi lehdykk\u00e4 taitaa olla poikki. Minusta koru on silti varsin tasapainoinen vaikka yksi lehdykk\u00e4 puuttuukin. Sen katkeamisesta t\u00e4ytyy olla aika kauan sill\u00e4 oksan p\u00e4\u00e4 on kulunut aika py\u00f6re\u00e4ksi.<\/p>\n

Kirppiskoruja tutkaillessa kannattaa aina tarkistaa leimat tai ett\u00e4 l\u00f6ytyyk\u00f6 niit\u00e4 ylip\u00e4\u00e4t\u00e4\u00e4n. Itse olen hopeakorujen valmistuksen my\u00f6t\u00e4 oppinut erottamaan hopean muusta metallista joskus jopa ilman leimoja, hopealla on tietty ominainen v\u00e4ris\u00e4vy ja tapa tummentua.Leimat ovat silti ainoa tapa varmistaa. Luupin hommaaminen auttaa leimojen l\u00f6yt\u00e4misess\u00e4 ja lukemisessa. Yleens\u00e4 korut on leimattu taakse, sormukset sis\u00e4\u00e4n, mutta joskus leimat ovat erikoisessa paikassa. Kansallispuvun rintaneulassa leima on p\u00e4\u00e4ll\u00e4, siksi en ensin meinannut sit\u00e4 l\u00f6yt\u00e4\u00e4 vaikka olin jo ennen leiman l\u00f6yt\u00e4mist\u00e4 varma ett\u00e4 kyseess\u00e4 on hopea. Joskus sormusten leimat voivat olla p\u00e4\u00e4ll\u00e4, sormukseen istutetun kiven vieress\u00e4, ven\u00e4l\u00e4isiss\u00e4 sormuksissa usein kuulemma my\u00f6s k\u00e4mmenpuolella. Kultakorujen pitoisuusleima on soikea, hopeakorujen suorakaide ja platinan vinoneli\u00f6 (johon en kyll\u00e4 itse ole viel\u00e4 kertaakaan t\u00f6rm\u00e4nnyt)<\/strong><\/span>. Suomessa valmistettujen hopeakorujen yleisimm\u00e4t pitoisuudet ovat 925 ja 830 mutta my\u00f6s 800 ja 999 n\u00e4kee joskus. Eri maissa k\u00e4ytet\u00e4\u00e4n muitakin pitoisuuksia, mutta tuo 925 on kaikkein yleisin nk. sterling silver<\/strong><\/span>. Suomessa hopeaa ei saa myyd\u00e4 leimaamattomana, kotimaisista hopeakoruista pit\u00e4\u00e4 siis aina l\u00f6yty\u00e4 pitoisuusleima ja valmistajan nimileima. Apua leimojen tunnistamiseen voi etsi\u00e4 vaikkapa Tukesista<\/a> tai kansainv\u00e4lisest\u00e4 hopealeimojen online-hakemistosta<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\nI like to dig in to these tiny trinket boxes people tend to put out for sale in flea markets and car boot sales. Sometimes you find treasures from them. I have found 70’s silver earrings with 0,50 \u20ac and traditional costume silver brooch with 1 \u20ac. Earrings are missing stones or pearls from the middle, but they still look pretty cute. Traditional costume’s brooches can be very expensive, larger ones even several hundred euros each. My latest find was made from one of those junk boxes. It is little cute brooch. Stamps on it reveal that it is from 50’s, made in Russia. Silver stamp 875 was used in that area. It is gold plated silver, very common way of doing silver jewelry on that area aswell. Pin of the brooch has been repaired with tin, which started cracking very soon. I didn’t notice anything else on the brooch, but lady in antique shop suggested that one of the branches got broken. In my opinion brooch looks rather balanced even though one branch is missing. It must have happened long time ago because the emd of the branch looks rather smooth.<\/p>\n

When you buy thrifted jewelry you might want to check the stamps. After making silver jewelry as a hobby so many years I have learned to recognise silver by it’s colour and unique way of darkening. However stamps are the only way to confirm. Usually stamps are on the back of the jewelry, but sometimes you might find them on unusual place. For example on my traditional costume brooch is in front. It took me awhile to find it. Sometimes stamps on rings are next to the gemstone or even on the palm side. Gold stamp is oval, silver is square and platinum is diamond (I have never seen thrifted platinum jewelry)<\/strong><\/span> shaped. Most common silver purity here in Finland are 925 and 830, but you can also find 800 or 999. Other countries use other purities aswell but 925, sterling silver<\/strong><\/span> is the most common. In Finland it is illegal to sell silver without stamps so jewelry you buy new here must have atleast purity stamp and maker’s mark stamp. You can search help to identify silver stamps in Online Encyclopedia Of Silver Marks<\/a>.<\/p>\n
