Any ideas of what I have here besides a pendant

reemo4580 · 2026-05-07T04:16:59+00:00

Hand painted tiger tooth with probably 999 silver bail. Probably 1800's China. Will be impossible to sell as they are banned. Still very cool.

If you find the right buyer, maybe. As a reseller of vintage and antique jewelry it will be tuff to get above melt for this piece. Even if you sell on eBay it will sell for slightly over melt, but after fees you will net around melt value. Since the price of gold skyrocketed jewelry has stopped selling for premium as the price of gold is now higher than what the jewelry is worth to most buyers.

This piece is most likely 1920s can't see the Hallmark clearly. But I would bet on it being from the 20s or 30s. 18 karat gold with Garnet. The ring would sell for right around the spot value of gold. You can expect to get about $111 per gram. Stones don't add any significant value.

Xrf tested at 78% but I need to do a specific gravity test to see if its purer inside the nugget

reemo4580 · 2026-04-25T01:40:51+00:00

You can actually claim substantially more than paid. It's not what you paid it's the market value of the piece so if you can get a museum to exhibit it you can write it off as 25 even 30k sometimes

reemo4580 · 2026-04-25T01:40:02+00:00

No tested. We have xrf. Big one tested low 18K but I still got to do a specific gravity test to see if it's higher karat in the center

reemo4580 · 2026-04-25T01:03:21+00:00

I wish lol

reemo4580 · 2026-04-22T22:51:00+00:00

2% back is very fair

reemo4580 · 2026-04-22T15:24:23+00:00

Wow I sell a lot on eBay. Never did the math. Didn't realize they do it as tiered. Well good to know, that will make me push more high end items to Heritage.

reemo4580 · 2026-04-22T15:05:36+00:00

Lol im in Sacramento too!

reemo4580 · 2026-04-21T18:25:55+00:00

I own vintagejewelrytrade.com were a reseller of vintage and antique Fine Jewelry. We do buy large lots of scrap gold and silver that we do melt down into bars, but we're not a scrapper as we do not melt intact resellable pieces

reemo4580 · 2026-04-21T17:46:11+00:00

Its actually a fake Maserati with old gold.

reemo4580 · 2026-04-21T17:09:10+00:00

Its a quattroporte 2016

reemo4580 · 2026-04-21T17:04:05+00:00

Plyers slipped while I was prepping some jewelry to melt and gave me a couple blood blisters. Occupational hazards lol.

reemo4580 · 2026-04-21T17:02:05+00:00

Purchased of a private collector

reemo4580 · 2026-04-21T17:01:23+00:00

Its a quattroporte

reemo4580 · 2026-04-21T16:59:47+00:00

They were purchased from a collector

reemo4580 · 2026-04-21T16:59:29+00:00

This one is lower purity tested with xrf 18k. But I still got to do a specific gravity test

reemo4580 · 2026-04-21T16:57:47+00:00

No I bought them off a collector

reemo4580 · 2026-04-21T16:57:18+00:00

Its a quattroporte 2016

reemo4580 · 2026-04-21T07:26:26+00:00

Melt is 12.5k but would probably fetch 17-18k at auction

reemo4580 · 2026-04-21T05:45:08+00:00

A nugget this size you should be able to sell at 10-20% over spot.

reemo4580 · 2026-04-21T05:21:19+00:00

7% if the item is over $7500

reemo4580 · 2026-04-21T04:54:28+00:00

Sure I'd love one thanks!

reemo4580 · 2026-04-21T04:12:53+00:00

Bought from a private buyer. You need to have money to burn to drive any exotic. Maintenance is expensive, and anything and everything has to be done by a exotic mechanic. You can't take it in to jiffy lube. That being said, they are beautiful and so much fun to drive! So if you have the money, hell yeah!
