<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Joan, post: 2742228, member: 5398&quot;]So here&#039;s what the jeweler said about the garnet pin --&nbsp; the garnet is real, the two little pearls are natural seed pearls, the metal is solid gold, and the pin/clasp is a replacement. </p><p><br /></p><p>The lily pin is also solid gold (the jeweler could tell by the way the pin/clasp was soldered on, which appeared to be original), the pearl he called a natural rice pearl, and he said the area with the bent over loop and the two curved connecting loops doesn&#039;t look original. </p><p><br /></p><p>It would have cost $10 for a test to determine the gold content, so I&#039;m going with my 10k test, although they both might be 12k because the 14k acid didn&#039;t completely dissolve the gold marks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
