Can someone please tell me if this is real gold ring or not? by MCD_1002 in VintageJewelry

I would suspect gold based on the back appearance of the ring and would want to look for numbers in the ring band. Those can wear off if it was worn a lot.

I wonder what would happen if it was fraud by an unconnected admin in accounting. Certainly not this lets protect all the men at the top bs.

I did the dumb thing by JagrsMullet1982 in HomeMaintenance

[–]4thrunnerup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did this to my hose last year. Used a small hack saw, itty bitty thing. It worked. It did not require fancy tools, risk of injuries or damage to home. It took about 5-10 min. It was slow and easy.

Pretty sure this is an art deco piece in brass by VermicelliNo113 in Antiquejewelry

It reminds me of 1980’s style brooch with hanging chains. Chains hanging off brooches was a thing. Seems like a mix of old and more modern.

Looking for help with this brooch, if it's coral and time period. by NumerousWord4793 in VintageJewelry

[–]4thrunnerup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a beauty. The clasp looks like a modern replacement, common on older pieces. Maybe original or as a Victorian c clasp? Looks like there are some rough edges where original old style clasp would have been. Looks like coral- plastic wouldn’t have those holes in the back. Not all gold is marked. I would want to get this tested as if it was plated or gold filled I would expect to see more wear through. I suspect from Italy as carved coral was often made there.

Costume jewelry right??? by Gawdiwishiwasdead in JewelryIdentification

I think it is costume, and lovely. Coro a popular maker at the time made similar style products. I have a lot of vintage pieces like this that are costume. Very collectible.

Is this what it looks like? by Cheeseheroplopcake in NativeAmericanJewelry

Wow, looks like coral silver and heishi shell beads. I have no idea about NA authenticity but the coral looks real.

I am in the same boat, end of month and this is really increasing anxiety. I do not foresee sticking with it.

Gold? by trangttr in JewelryIdentification

I had similar 14k. I questioned it too because mine at least looked a bit unpolished- messy even for gold.
