[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 2377122, member: 5833"]Is there any mark on the turquoise bear at the center of the necklace? Check bottoms of hind feet. Celtic cross is marked as being gold filled. Most of the spherical pearls are probably imitation. We can't tell you anything more about the pearls themselves than the tooth test can tell you. The pearl stud earrings look like they could be good quality & if you don't want them you can send them to me. :D The seed pearls are likely to be real. For the costume quality pearls, we would need to know about any marks to say if they are particularly desirable. Can't say much about rings with stones when we can't see the stones or any marks inside the shanks. The multi-color ring looks like the sort of thing where you get the birthstones of your kids or grandkids. 'Stones' are apt to be glass. Large green stone in ring does look like jade. The chunky coral necklace really is coral. Quite an unusual choker with it. Glare is making it hard to see other stones. Marks, marks, marks![/QUOTE]
