Help identifying markings

Hey yall, I just picked up this piece for my fiancé since she’s been eyeing for years at our local antique shop however I can’t for my life figure out what these stamped markings mean in the back. Apologize for the bad photos but they are so incredibly small my phone has a hard time picking them up clearly. Any and all help is much appreciated!

Center of Art Nouveau Brooch - Enamel?

Having a heck of a time trying to identify this "stone" or whatever it is in the center of this brooch...is it painted enamel? I am trying to figure out how to describe and price it on ebay because image search didn't return much.

Better photos:

Elephant hair gold ring with emerald.

I was gifted this ring about 30 years ago by my mother who bought it in S. Africa I think. 🤔

Google says it's an elephant hair ring. I'm not sure what the hallmarks are but it's definitely gold. And the stone - an emerald I think.

But I can't find out how much it's worth - can anyone advise?

Thrift store find

I found this necklace in a thrift store in Sedona, AZ. I’m assuming it’s jade? Not sure how to verify if it’s real or not, but I think it’s gorgeous regardless. Any tips or tricks on how to tell if it’s real? TIA

Anyone else finding Skullpanda pieces outside of official drops?

I’ve been collecting Skullpanda for a bit now, mostly sticking to official drops, but lately I’ve also been exploring secondhand options. I’ve seen some interesting listings through trades, resellers, and even a few live auctions on whatnot.

What surprised me is how often older series, opened boxes, or dupes pop up when people are downsizing collections. It feels more relaxed than fighting drop times, and sometimes you get to hear why someone is letting a piece go.

Not trying to buy or sell here, just curious. Are most of you sticking strictly to drops, or are you also picking up Skullpanda through secondhand or live platforms?

Is this 1970s? Lapis Lazuli 18 ct gold pendant and chain

I took this to the local auction as it's not quite my style (inherited from my grandmother). I know it's European and 18ct gold and Lapis Lazuli but not much else. Auction valued it at £1500 -£2500 but it's heavy and the scrap price would be higher according to bullion vault. The auction also sells at the lower valuation reserve so it surprised me that they would value it less than scrap. Has anyone got any opinions on this piece? I have also a matching ring.

Reset Grandma's engagement ring?

I have my grandma's engagement ring that I am considering using for my engagement ring.

I am a simple girl so I am absolutely ok with a single diamond and maybe get a pretty wedding band with it. Or maybe I could reset it in a fancier band. Would you maybe get this reset in some way? I feel like the diamond sits higher than I would maybe want. Or the setting just seems clunky? Any suggestions? I dont know anything about this kind of stuff :)

Does anyone know anything about these earrings?

My Nana found these earrings at a flea market years ago. I do know that, according to a jeweler, its real gold with real jade, ruby, and pearl. Does anyone know where they may be from? Or perhaps when they may have been made? TIA!!! :)

Garage Sale

Just bought this tonight. I think it might be fossilized stone. It has an old sticker that's partially rubbed off. I think I see the word India or Indian and below it hammer.
Has anyone seen anything like this or have an idea about what it is? I paid 3 bucks but I'm just curious what you all might think it is.

How much I could sell this for?

Hello, i’m wondering how much I could sell this for? I took it to three jewelers and they said £200 but I have the valuation documentation also.

It’s an 18 ct Yellow gold opal and diamond cluster ring. The opal measuring 0.27 carats. The old cut diamonds measuring 0.16 carats. Circa 1900

With insurance it came up to £2450, so I know that isn’t what i’d get for it but I thought at least maybe £500

Are these blue sponge coral and mother of pearl beads?

This is from my mother’s side is the family, but I’m not sure if it was my mother’s or my grandmother’s. If it was my mother’s, it was probably bought in the 1960’s through 80’s. If my grandmother’s, more likely the 1940’s through 60’s.

I’ve been doing image searches and poking around, and I’m guessing the beads are blue sponge coral and mother of pearl. Does anyone know?

There are no hallmarks of any sort, and the metal closures aren’t precious metals.
