<p>[QUOTE="Pearly, post: 4215376, member: 20780"]I will be up front and let everyone know that I joined this forum for a selfish reason, I am not a person that collects antiques, well.... not seriously anyway. However, I do have an appreciation of antiques and own a few random pieces of nostalgia such as a salesman's sample of a grandfather clock from way back when salesmen had such things </p><p><br /></p><p>The reason I joined is to see if anyone is able to provide information on a 18K gold retro necklace that my husband bought me about 40 years ago at auction. We may have been given some sort of paperwork on it but that wouldn't really help me in finding out the worth of this piece. It has no markings on it at all, no clue as to where it was made other than one I have found on the internet that is exactly like the one I have. It was difficult to find this one particular necklace on the internet, many are similar although costume, but none were exact until I located one from the website 'Worth Point',</p><p><br /></p><p>I took it to a jeweler yesterday to have it tested and it's 18K. I am not positive what the jeweler said the weight was, I am pretty sure the jeweler weighed it and said '80' grams. I have searched and found a necklace online that's exactly like it but unfortunately I cannot view the value on this website without buying a subscription. I'm posting a photo from the website I found. I'm not as excited to know that it's a genuine piece as I am curious about the craftsmanship and origin of the piece. Every one of the small hexagon pieces are hinged and the necklace is 'fluid' feeling, very supple. </p><p><br /></p><p>If anyone can shed light on this necklace, I would appreciate it. </p><p><br /></p><p>This is the link to the website where I was able to find an identical item to mine. I had looked for days and some that I've seen were similar but not even close to the workmanship of the one I have. </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/retro-art-wide-honey-comb-choker-1874997709" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/retro-art-wide-honey-comb-choker-1874997709" rel="nofollow">https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/retro-art-wide-honey-comb-choker-1874997709</a></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]335654[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
