I bought this little stem sometime ago.  It still had the price tag on it when I went to take the photo – $1.75.  I was taken with it – don’t know why – although it does have a pretty shine to it and the ring is very sweet.

I thought I had identified it as the Strawberry Diamond pattern by Bayel, but upon closer look I see that it is not.  The stem doesn’t match.  There are so many cuts with the thatching and fans, that only a super obsessed person can know them all. I can’t find a signature, so I will likely never know the origins of this stem,  Unless someone out in the blogosphere let’s me know!

I will likely hang on to this little thing.  i don’t use it, but it is very appealing.
