Question
Hello I recently bought  lot of jewelry in the lot was a large star fish pin and on the back of the pin it is marked DeNicola if you could please tell me anything about it , and i had bought another lot and there was a pin in that lot marked 39/79 TheAve Nell if you could please tell me about that pin also I would be greatful Thank You Cindy.

Answer
Hi Cindy, Assuming that the lot was costume jewelry, there is nothing here to get excited about. Pretty common stuff. DeNicola is just an ordinary manufacturer and the 39/79 represents the total number if pieces in a design run and the number of the piece you have. Very common but enjoy the variety and the fun.
