<p>[QUOTE="spartcom5, post: 926328, member: 5213"]Bought this at a nice estate sale. I collect these old gold nugget jewelry items. I noticed something interesting on this piece however. It is about 16-18k gold depending on the area but right in the middle of the nugget seems to be gold solder. Why would someone do this to a perfectly nice nugget? I thought perhaps they meant to put some type of decoration on it? Any thoughts? Maybe I am wrong and it isn't solder?? The reason why I think it is is because of the shape and the fact it's so rough and unfinished compared to the rest of the nugget...</p><p>[ATTACH=full]202175[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]202176[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]202177[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]202178[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]202179[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]202180[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
