It would be nice if you could photograph the works. Are those diamonds? Suspect that the band is a replacement. Also, the sapphire is not original...
The lock bracelet could very well be low grade gold. I'm always suspicious when I see soldered links like those I see in the pics. Inspect the...
Did you check for them for color change in sunlight? Lots of grown alexandrite on the market. The rings themselves look fairly new with very...
I agree with any jewelry. I think that the pendant and beads are slag glass, almost like the "Arts & Crafts" Period.
Yes, use the rough side. So far as I know there is not much, if any, difference between the red or the white cerium oxide.
I've used this method on hard stones also to get rid of the filmy look. It doesn't get rid of the major wear but it certainly helps the looks of...
I neglected to say that the opal doesn't have to be removed to do this.
Beautiful! Great find. I agree with the others as to gold and opal. As the opal I do have something that you might want to try.... Find a piece of...
Yes, put it on ebay, as it's primarily serious collectors that buy these. It really doesn't matter if it looks ratty. They are a part of jewelry...

As gregsglass stated. The backs and seats were wooden slats. I bought one set of ends at a garage sale thinking they were old as they had been...
I'm with Blooey as to the 1920's but the band is most likely die struck. If the info on the works is to be believed, than it is a quality...
I agree but first find get the info from the repair shop before you decide which way to go. It looks pristine and unused and may just need a cleaning.
Oh, and lets see the face.
It's a shame if you sell it for its gold only. More info would be appreciated. What size is it? What does the front and back look like? How much...
Perhaps those people are not their parents? If they are, perhaps they shouldn't put themselves and their children is such a position. Whereas the...
