Is this worth anything or is it fake.

I know nothing about jewelry but thought this looked special. Any thoughts?

 

Welcome to the board.
Can you please show a picture of the whole item so we know what we are looking at.

 

Welcome, please show us details of the back and of the clasp, everything!

 

looks special from here !!

 

I'm going to jump in here where i probably shouldn't. I'm not a big Jewelry person.........That said...... I really like this (Bracelet? ). It looks like a Marcasite / Sapphire (not real) Art Deco costume piece with some age to it. From the middle picture the blue stones look like glass. Many times Marcasite jewelry is set in sterling. Look for other marks (.925) or have it tested. Marcasites have a habit of falling out of jewelry, so check carefully for missing stones.
I'm sure the Jewelry people will be along to correct me soon LOL. I will tag a couple people who may be able to help. @Hollyblue @Any Jewelry @Aquitaine . They will need more pictures as @clutteredcloset49 indicated. The whole piece and any othermarkings it may have, also a picture of the back of where the main stone is might be helpful. If you can decipher the <diamond> mark on the clasp,that would help also. Looks like Diamond files to me......but that doesn't make sense to me.

 

I think it's is marked diamond finish, definitely double stamped

 

Here are a few more pictures

 

High quality costume......?? I'd guess ! IMO..

 

In the new pictures, the what I thought were Marcasites now look like diamonds.......Much more interesting. Here is one similar to yours called Diamond Finish. I will watch this thread with interest.

I think I agree.
Don't think it's sterling now. No marks and I see what looks like rust on the clasp hinge.

 

Interesting.......Googling the Jeweler.....found an article about his shop being held up in 1923. Gives credibility to your piece having some decent age to it.

Hmmmm another article in the 1893 New Haven Courier tells of a robbery attempt while his 12 year old son was minding the store. They hit him with sandbags and when he yelled they ran out. This is fun.

 

We don't know if that box is original to that piece..?

 

True.......but i'm going to assume it is since I'm having so much fun LOL.

Looks like costume jewelry,the bead setting does not connect to the stones.The stones are single cut,probably glass and glued in.

 

Bdigger, I like you so much!

 

So after cleaning and looking closer the stones seem to be secured in with a little scroll. Like I said I know nothing about jewelry lol. The "rust" looking stuff scrapes off. And the "diamonds" do have a nice shine to them.

 

This listing has a piece I think is like yours (incomplete photos). They say the Diamond Finish line was made by the Providence Stock Company of Providence, Rhode Island. Don't know if that's true.

I see theirs says it is signed "Diamond Finish" and I can see by the surface of the glass that it is not diamond. It's pretty though not valuable in this condition.

 

I say that's a match lol mine blue that's black stones but otherwise identical, man I was really hoping lol, it's still really pretty.
