Found at an antique store, pretty worn. Looks like either 375 or 875 written inside? Seed pearl embedded, filigree detail and some braided hair that also is pretty worn. Unsure if you all can gleam anything from what's left of the hallmarks, but I'd love even a general estimate!
Currently envisioning an ant Queen lounging about with it on her head.
French hallmark for 14k, 5 rose cut diamonds in bezel settings, decorated with teeny tiny stars. Made somewhere between 1919. and 1925.
I picked this ring up years ago as I thought it was neat. I've not been able to find info about its age, maker, etc. I assume it is old enough to be considered an antique. Curious if anyone recognizes the marking.. or anything tbh.
Found this in an old house, possibly 20s 30s?
It’s a chunky one, 76g to be exact. I find the yellow gold ones much harder to find and buy but this is a lovely example, lots of lovely varied tones in the gold
price: $2400
Wat zouden dit voor steentjes kunnen zijn?
Hi! This necklace was my grandmother’s and I would appreciate any thoughts on the style, era, etc. It’s 18k gold and very heavy. It’s also pretty tight to the neck which is a bummer since it’s not comfortable to wear. She was bigger than me so I’m curious how she wore it. Any thoughts welcome!
Would anyone happen to have any info on this, such as the maker? I'm trying to figure out whether I could beat the melt value.
To me (not at all an expert) this seems like a soldering issue, but what do you guys think would be the best way to repair this?
Hi, I purchased this ring in 2016 at an antique jeweler in New Orleans. They said it’s Georgian. But that’s all I know. Could anyone tell me what they think and maybe an idea of value? It’s 18k gold I believe.
I've inherited this cross that belonged to my great grandmother, who was born in Ireland. It has an engraved pattern on both sides, but one stone is missing. I'm guessing it's a turquoise? Is it possible to find a good colour match to replace it, or should I just leave the hole as part of it's history (I can wear it with that face down, so no one will ever know!)?
Does anyone know anything about the pattern or its history? I can't see a hallmark, so I'm guessing it might not be gold? Any knowledge would be appreciated.
I was recently in the Adirondacks with my fiancé’s family and stopped by an appointment only antique/vintage shop. The owner was super sweet and had a stunning antique and vintage jewelry collection. Since the shop is by appointment only I had been messaging the owner with some ideas of what I was looking for prior to meeting. When we arrived she showed us some beautiful pieces, but she specifically brought out this ring and said “when you first messaged me this is the ring I thought of for you”.
The ring is stamped 14K gold and has a slight rose-gold quality to it. It appears to be Victorian/Art Nouveau era. The shop owner describes it as a “.2 ct VVS1 + E antique European cut natural diamond set in a mini crown mount.”
I thought the makers mark of the sideways W looked interesting. I did some research and found that it is most likely a ring manufactured by JR Wood & Sons, which was a company that started in Brooklyn in 1850 and is still around today. However the name of the company officially changed to Art Carved in 1975.
I thought this detail was particularly interesting because I live rather close to the original Brooklyn location where this ring would have been created! How amazing and full circle.
Anyways, I wanted to share the beautiful ring and also source any further expertise! I believe the ring to be late 1800’s/early 1900’s, but am curious if anyone has other thoughts. Thank you!!
Is this cheap coatume jewelry, or is Google lens correct telling me it's vintage?
When I was about 11 my grandma gave me these scorpion brooches and moonstones, along with a few other cheap tumbled crystals and things. She didn't say anything about it, just gave me a few of her old things she thought I'd find fun. I was told they were moonstone but otherwise assumed they were nothing special (apart from being really cool, I've always loved them!). Yesterday I was cleaning a bunch of other jewelry and for some reason for the first time ever thought I'd look them up for cleaning purposes, and was very surprised to find that they are a bit more special than I knew! My grandma was a farmer and not the type to wear something like this. My dad says he never heard anything interesting about them and that she would have been given them by her mother and then stuck them in a box for decades. That line of my family originates from England so they have likely been passed down since purchase! They have no hallmarks so I know they can't be traced to a manufacturer, but wondering if anyone can help me figure out anything else about them at all?
Thank you 😊
hey yall! just wanted to come on here and see if anyone could give me any info on my great grandmothers watch i was gifted. its probably
70+ years old, but i am not sure bc im no expert! just going off of how old she was when she passed (she was 96 years old in 1995 i think???)
it doesn’t work anymore, so i’m going to try and get it fixed.
i’ve always felt really close to my great grandmother spiritually, so im really excited to have received this gift and would love any insight anyone has on how old it may be, and whether it can be fixed :) thank yall so much!
All of the rings I previously posting tested as real with the gem tester except the three stone ring with one broken stone, that one didn't. But I was able to uncover the hallmark slightly better. It's either W or M, with a raised one between two plain. I drew what I could see in case the picture isn't as good. I haven't had any luck searching for that mark.
Also included the rest again just because they are pretty.
If I understand correctly the tester can't distinguish synthetic or natural, just if it's another material like glass?
