Tortoiseshell did run across my mind, briefly. I hope it's not that as I don't think I can sell it. So Mexican and Aztec according to what I...
I will look that up. As long as I don't have to say the words out loud, I should be ok. :) Thank you.
I think this pendant is South American and pictures a jaguar and snake. Can it be attributed to a particular culture like Incan, Mayan or Aztec?...
Yay!
So after checking with a loupe, I don't see brass showing through in any of the bracelets. In addition, I also tried an earth magnet on them and...
The outside still has a light gold color but the inside is a dull silver. I did polish it lightly with a sunshine cloth. I think it is sol old...
I think that is very likely. A gold wash perhaps.
I will give that a try. Thank you evelyb30. The first bracelet I showed is very thin, very lightweight and almost has no gold on finish on it...
Thanks everyone! I appreciate all the information. It is very helpful. I don't have a testing kit anymore so I can't test as suggested.
Thanks evelyb30, that was very helpful. I was hoping Ownedbybear would take a peek. I did a light polishing with a sunshine cloth and are looking...
Thanks bosko69 - what a stunning piece from Syboni! I hope mine are as old as I think they are.

Amazing, thank you mmarco102. I did a google search on them but the ones you listed did not show up. I guess I should have done a deeper dive...
Good morning, I hope you are all well and 2025 is being good to you. These three bracelets came in a "gold fill" antique jewelry lot I picked up...
Sadly I agree with the Nao and Lladro assessment. The first estate sale for my sister's estate just finished on Saturday. She had over 48 pieces...
IMHO the construction is totally wrong. This is how the back of a Juliana bracelet should look.[IMG]
I wondered if they were moss agate. Thank you AJ! I think they are pretty and an unusual style.
Good morning all. I hope 2025 has been good to you. I was wondering if anyone has a suggestion as to what the long stones are in this pair of...
They are all separated from everything. I haven't tried cleaning any of them yet so I don't know if the green is live or powdery. They are such...
These three necklace came in a lot and although they are not in best shape, I would like to know the age and if possible the origin of each. I...
