Any thoughts about what any of these or whole lot might be worth?

saw this in rome today, they asked for 1900 and i bargained to 1350, the owner said its gold with rubies and diamond. there was no stamp on the ring nor any proof though. she said its from 1920s. does anyone have any idea?

It is unmarked but tests sterling. Thanks ☺️

Very heavy, my eyes are not good. Any worth?

I can't find anything similar. Hoping someone can easily recognize the circle hallmark on the back of each earring.

Picked these up recently at an estate for 50cents ea. Sotnick stamped on ovals. Works well wth my southwest tunic 🌵 😉 may end up making matching bracelets ❤️the color combination.

I've been wanting to make these for quite a while. I found really cool antique and vintage salt and pepper shakers, and this is my first one. I use tiny glass beads.These are a b coated. I then stick these stick pins in to make it look pretty for a desk or vanity. Let's face it, not many people these days wear stick pins and I have so many of them. What do you think this would be worth? Also, is there a way to make them not turn at all right now? I have them in there so they don't budge. But once the customer gives it, I'm sure they're going to loosen, how do I get it to not move? The pin is nearly the size of the hole. There's a tiny bit room. The only thing that I could think was literally sticking a little, amount of super glue in there, to hold it. The camera didn't look make 'em look as shiny and new looking as they are so please ignore that please. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.Thank you so much. I love it!

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?

I buy storage units and found this in a box of costume jewelry. I'm familiar with gold and silver, and generally recognizing if something might be worth money and this to me looks like it could be.

I'd like to get a second opinion on here since I'm no expert.

I've created a few more than I thought, looked really cool. What do you think?

This piece has a lobster clasp, but Tiffany usually has a round clasp. Did they ever make lobster clasps like this?

I will get it tested, but maybe you’ll have fun with it.
I bought this ring spontaneously and I am really not sure, but I think it says 585. The seller was a small antique/pawn shop owner. I paid gold price for 333. Also, do you think its topaz?

PS: My nails are horrible and I apologize.

Asking about jewelry I believe I got from my grandma

Hey guys, I know nothing about jewelry but have some pieces I want to know more about if they’re worth anything or just costume jewelry.

The first ring I know is my great great grandmothers(?) I believe or so I’ve been told, it has been passed down in the family as a wedding ring heirloom. (Definitely not costume, but I still know nothing about it) The second ring I have no idea where I got it, and same with the necklace (the last necklace I’m really not sure anything about and may just be costume jewelry idk) but I believe I got all of this from my grandma just not 100% sure

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 😊

Hi all,

I’ve got this watch, brand is ZentRa. Typical 60-70s design.

I’m not very fond of the watch itself.
But the bracelet is nice!
The bracelet and watch housing is made of .585 gold (14k).

Instead of scrapping the gold, do you have any good ideas to repurpose the bracelet?
Just taking out the watch and soldering the bracelet together would be a) a little bit too small to wear most likely and b) leave a quite visible soldering joint at the top of the bracelet.

Happy to hear any ideas!
Thanks!

I bought this necklace at a vintage and antiques market, before quickly realising that it was a handmade piece and possibly Native American in origin. I tried to do some research of my own, but struggled to find example medallion beaded necklaces quite like it. I’d be interested in knowing more about it, my guess would be that it was a piece made to sell for tourism, on account of the sun design possibly in the 90s/2000s given the popularity of celestial and sun & moon designs at the time. I don’t know much about Native American beadwork, so any help or information would be appreciated. As I bought it secondhand and am not Native American myself, I’d also like to know whether it’s culturally inappropriate in any way for me to wear it, and if so whether it’s ok for me to just display it or what else to do with it. It’s very beautiful and I’d just love to know more about it!

My mom passed down these very special rings that I remember my great gramma wearing throughout my childhood 🥹
I want to get them appraised, and I hope the grapes can be fixed. Both were bought in the 70s/80s.

Diamond cluster: 14k, mom said they’re natural diamonds

Grapes: 14k, opal cluster, and the stem/leaf has a hinge that makes it move back and forth on the top it’s very cute 🥹

Hi! This is my all time favorite piece of jewelry in my collection, I found it in my great grandma’s stuff a few years ago and I was wondering if anyone has any estimates on it’s age. It has a 14k gold stamp on the back and is cold to the touch
