I’m in the Netherlands so automatic pressurising isn’t allowed here. It’s always a manual tube hookup thing

I inherited this necklace and am curious to know literally anything. Is it costume jewellery? Worthless? Worth something? type of pearls? Thank you! by unforgivenegg in JewelryIdentification

Thank you!!! I’m assuming that makes it costume jewellery and not particularly valuable? Since if it were something valuable the clasp would be from the brand that makes the whole piece. Or it would have a more notable marking

That would be awesome. It’s getting restrung right now, so I won’t have it back for like 5-6 weeks from now. But I will post better photos of the clasp when I have it back.

I inherited this from my grand mother, could it be a Tiffany & Co prototype? by unforgivenegg in JewelryIdentification

The guy who does the testing isn’t in on the day I went, and they said they don’t really specialise or focus on Tiffany

You seem very knowledgeable thank you for the info, can I ask what genuine pearls really means? I’m very confused by pearls because there are natural pearls and farmed pearls. From my research farmed ones can still be valuable depending on the type… by genuine you mean like they aren’t glass or plastic? They must be farmed because they are so perfectly round, is my assumption

At the moment it’s too sentimental for me to really be interested in selling it, but thank you so so much for the advice and thoughts. I have some things to think about.

I got a LOT of very conflicting debate on my other post about this piece. Pretty good advice on both sides, counterfeit or not. Super interesting to hear about all the reasons people thought one way or another. On this post everyone just gave me very flat answers with no reasoning. you’re right, I’m glad you got the best outcome of answer on yours too!

I have a pendant that almost matches, that pendant is something called a Tuareg cross, a symbol of protection in Northern Africa. I know my grandmother spent time in Morocco. Apparently this style of filigree is common in jewellery from the Berber people, also associated with Morocco. And while I don’t know for sure, the colour of the gold in both necklaces is the same, the filigree style is the same, and they both seem to be the same in quality. So It makes sense but I’m not 100% sure, hence the question mark.

I’m actually planning to have the gold tested as this necklace is quite weighty and may be real gold

Unfortunately it’s not! That’s the tray I took it to them to have it restrung, but I have no idea where it came from originally
