[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 579474, member: 84"]I found this in a box of jewelry my mom left me. It was full of real gold jewelry + high end costume jewelry (like Alex Bitter lucite bracelets). This necklace is on a silver chain with a unusual mounting for the stone. Is it a aquamarine? How can I tell? It weighs 6.8 dwt - how can I tell how many carats it is? Is it real or costume? Finally, any way to tell it's value (taking it to a jewelry store will get me a lower price - I think - because if they buy it they have to make a profit also. - I'm thinking of selling it on eBay & splitting the money with my brother and sister, but every aquamarine jewelry I saw there had sold for $25 - $30 at the most! (is aquamarine that cheap or are they knock offs/costume?) Thanks for any info; I appreciate the help.
