I picked up this vintage ring and I’m trying to identify the centre pearl (along with the hallmarks).
Inside the band, there is a five-pointed star inside a circle, and right next to it is something that looks like 81/18 stamped inside a hexagon. From my research, this looks like a Spanish silver hallmark system (?). Any insights on whether the pearl is genuine? It shows south sea pearl when I google it.
Found this ring with no hallmarks or stamps. Can anyone identify the stone and the metal? It’s so lovely!
Found in the UK. Looks like a copper enclosed pendant.
There are two tiny marks inside the band:
One looks like an 18 with roof or inverted “V”. The other looks like a star inside a circle. It also has some mild tarnish. Is it silver or white gold?
Hi everyone,
I found this bead necklace in a mixed jewellery job lot in the UK. I’m not a collector, so I’m trying to figure out what to do with it.
From what I’ve read, the blue tubular beads might be Egyptian faience, but I have no idea whether they’re ancient, vintage, or modern reproductions. There’s no provenance, and the rest of the lot was just mixed modern and vintage jewellery.
If these are potentially genuine, should I be looking to sell them? If so, where would be the best place-an auction house, an antiquities dealer, or just eBay?
I’d also appreciate any opinions on whether the beads themselves look authentic or if they’re likely to be reproductions.
Thanks!
I found this very short chain piece in a mixed bric-a-brac jewellery lot along with a few other brass pieces. It appears to be part of an older chain and has what looks like repeated “18CT” marks on several links.
I’m not sure if the marks are genuine or what the piece originally belonged to. I’d be interested in any thoughts on the age, type of chain, and whether it looks like a genuine gold item or fake.
Hello, I bought these Dior CD earrings from a vintage market. Do you think these are fake?
