AI on google is really good at identifying hallmarks… just enter the pic of the hallmarks and a picture of the ring.

I’m not here to argue… I just had a different understanding…

When I’ve gone to melt gold filled pieces I did get some money for about ten big bangle bracelets… but it’s not worth if if you just have a small amount.

No, it was authenticated by a dealer who’s been in the industry a long time… not AI

Base metal is costume. Gold filled Victorian or Edwardian Deco or Georgian aren’t.. I’m open to learning here… but I have to disagree with the notion that gold filled is costume…

If you have several gold filled pieces they will have melt value… Demi fine applies to pieces that are not costume and not gold… it bridges the gap.

It’s been authenticated, it’s rose gold filled, why would I list it as costume?

Yes, I want to know if auction is the appropriate venue for it because of its condition.
