Featured wowzer !!!!!

so im sat in the nearest village waiting for for my 2nd shot

found this in the charity shop

definitely a pearl no question

bought it purely on the trombone clasp

has an 18 mark with a accent above it

was absolutely spotless so thought it was something special or complete rubbish

any thoughts appreciated

 

wowie zowie.............good eye !!!
at least charity got some of the value....but u made out like a bandit !!!!

 

their a tuff competion nowadays kome, its almost like a war

 

well , they missed the boat on this puppy...and u did not !!!!

 

well buggermeflip

not gold and not silver

stayed their for a while on the gold test, but black hole sun

 

Stayed their for about 10 secs then slowly went, so it wasn't a definite this isn't gold, but 18 k it aint

 

Yeah, I'm baffled by this one, jumped the gun a bit

But can only be honest about the test results

It's the 18 hallmark that got me all jumped up

 

Is the 18 mark shown in any of the photos? If not, where on the piece is it?

 

Hi bronners

Yeah it's in the last photo, middle of largest band, in hexagon ?

Slanted 18 under a roof

Next to it is another that looks like a partial star

 

Star is Spanish. It might be Majorica - they do a lot of vermeil; white gold on silver . The 18 under a roof indicates plated with 18k, I believe.

 

What a wonder you are obb

It's not said enough

 

The photos are not in focus when enlarged,but at least 60% of the piece is coated with solder.

 

-

 

The stones look set and open backed. True? If so, it would be indicative of a serious piece. The clasp also points to a quality piece.

 

These areas appear to have solder where it doesn't belong.Too many reflections in other photos to pick out specific areas. The leaf circle is covered with solder or it's an extremely bad casting with porosity.

 

Yeah it doesn't look like that in hand it's pretty even all round

The bottom bit is the edge of the front surround

Will post a pic tomorrow to show you miss holly

 

P.s the colour on it is probably the reflection of my sunburnt forehead

 

Hi mate

Yeah all the stones are open backed apart from the pearl
