[QUOTE="clutteredcloset49, post: 144641, member: 85"]The C clasp is an earlier type closure. I'm not a jewelry guru, but you might investigate jewelry from the 1880s - early 1900s. I agree Turquoise and probably ruby. Possibly Persian or made to look like it. Most likely 10K - not all antique jewelry was marked with gold content. Personally, I hate acid testing as it often is done in a way that scares the jewelry. Wait for those more knowledgeable[/QUOTE]
