As someone who checks the Theta items on "that" site almost daily, I have seen the charms that you reference. I have also noted that the sellers constantly have Greek jewelry listed. If you read their bio, they claim that a family jewlerly business went out of business and they are selling off the inventory. Yet.. they have been doing that for years. (??)

kaokite, who is the absolute authority on Theta jewelry has posted to use caution when ordering from those sellers. While some (most?) of what they sell is exactly as they post, there have been times where they have conveniently left off that an item is pewter or gold plate/filled. Therefore, a naive buyer may think that they are getting sterling or 10K/14K. They have also listed items as "vintage" without specifying how they define "vintage."

I have purchased a few items from them and was pleased. However, I also have passed over many, many items because I could tell the item was not good quality.

All that to say... I, too, have been a little perplexed on the charms that you reference, and am a little uncertain of whether to purchase these items from these sellers. On the one hand, they say they are liquidating stuff from the closed family business. Yet, these charms have never showed up anyway before now, to my knowledge. (link above from lily noted) As one who collects items such as these, I would def have noted them before now from these sellers.
