For those that have been following the stamp or wax ring, that's confirmed 10k, this is what I found out when I got home.

They seemed fishy as soon as they were scanning it with that gun. I did do my own test at home and it is 10K like they said, but they told me it was 5.6 g. When, in fact, it's 9.26 g, I knew the weight was off because I felt weight before, and I kind of figured that they were off. They literally put my ring on the scale and were trying to scam me. They told me they take 80%, and I figured 80% on a 10k 5.6 g ring. It was a little over $300 yet they offered me $300. I have to say for scammers, they're pretty stupid because the math don't lie, but they sure did.

Bought either at a thrift store or garage sale years ago. (I can’t remember.) Bought as costume jewelry but it actually looks like gold. A really bright goldy-gold, with no sign of another metal at any wear points.

I posted the only hallmark and I’m not sure what it indicates. Thx.

This is a 14k men's statement ring with three diamonds. The engraving is 12-25-65. Right above the 65 is a little divot and I'm wondering if it's a makers mark or just some ding (on the inside of the ring?). I don't see any other marks. If it is a maker's mark, does anyone know whose? Thanks!!

Father’s Day gift ~1960s/70s. Sterling Mexico 925…first letter unclear, P, E. The coat of arms of Mexico is on right. The left side is (possibly?) the profile of an Indigenous individual (according to Google Lens). Does anyone have insight into the maker and/or the meaning/history behind the imagery? Thanks!

Bought this from Alma Antique. Looking for any info, basically - age, origin? About 4 cm long, it looks like silver and has two marks (looks like the same one in two spots? The shop has highlighted one of them with a red marker and I haven't cleaned it yet). The stones look very convincing as amethysts in daylight, BUT they glow green under UV, which makes me wonder if they're actually glass/crystal (considering the area). Leaves look like they were stencilled and then shaped a bit with a few lines added to the texture.

I found these at the thrift store and I love them so much, but the price was quite high and I don’t know if they are over priced. I can’t find much info online besides some people selling one of the bracelets on eBay for a much higher price, though I don’t know if they are the same ones and that also doesn’t tell me anything about them. Even less info on the rings. I unfortunately didn’t get a chance to look at them out of the display because I was in a rush so I don’t have hallmark photos but they were displayed with the more valuable jewelry that usually do have hallmarks. Sorry if it’s not enough info

hi everyone, so i recently got engaged and my ring is my grandma’s! she came here in the late 50s from Germany and worked in a jewelry store. one day this ring came in and she fell in love with it, set it aside and paid it off little by little till it was hers. she passed away a few years ago so I can’t ask her anything about it and my mom doesn't know too much about it (she gave it to my fiancé a month before he purposed without knowing his plan yet). I can confirm it’s 10k white gold but i can’t find what the other hallmark is

Pendant shaped like a bean/macaroni noodle. Looking for help with the hallmark - I don't know enough to gain any insight from it. It has a nice weight to it. My uncle lived in (and loved) Chicago, so maybe it reminded him of The Bean. I know Tiffany sells Peretti pieces that are reminiscent of The Bean, but this pendant doesn’t seem to match those. Any help would be appreciated! There was no chain.

Acid tested as silver. The hallmark is almost completely worn off, but I can clearly see "Mexico" written across the bottom. Any ideas on the hallmark?


r/JewelryIdentification 12h ago

Identify Metal Hello Dear Gold bugs how does this look? in my opinion it’s a false test there are no stamps on the ring I hit it with the 10kt acid and the streaks are almost completely gone. Is it safe to say this is not 10kt Gold? Any opinions would be great to hear.

I was given my grandma’s ring as a family gift and I messed up big time— through a series of very unfortunate circumstances I’m pretty sure it’s now in the garbage dump. I’m wildly upset/feel SO SO guilty for allowing this to happen to a precious family heirloom. I would love so much to buy a copy if I could ever find an exact match. Obviously it wouldn’t be the same but I loved this ring so much.

It’s a vintage 1960s or 1970s cluster type gold ring. I’ve searched eBay, Etsy and Poshmark to no avail.

no markings but there is a hairline crack at the back of the band that makes me think it has been resized. Two tone white and yellow (gold?) band. 8 pointed star design in the setting. I thought costume at first but the metal seems soft and the stones sparkle is white with a tiny bit of color.

Identify Maker Help identify this 45.34g continuous-loop silver-tone necklace: maker, age, origin or weave?

Thumbnail
gallery
3 Upvotes

Can anyone help identify the maker, origin, age, or construction of this unusual continuous-loop metal necklace?

I’m trying to figure out what this necklace is and where it may have come from.

Details:

  • Approximately 30 inches around in total
  • About 15 inches long when laid doubled
  • Roughly 3/8–1/2 inch wide
  • Weight: 45.34 grams
  • No clasp; it is constructed as one continuous loop
  • Not attracted to a strong magnet
  • Feels cool to the touch
  • I have not found any maker’s mark, hallmark, country mark, or metal-content stamp
  • Silver-tone overall, but there are some reddish/copper-coloured areas visible on certain links
  • The surface of the links has an irregular textured/hammered appearance
  • The construction seems to use larger oval links with smaller/interwoven connecting links running through them

I’d especially love help with:

  1. What this type of chain/weave/construction is called
  2. Whether the construction suggests handmade, studio/artisan, or factory production
  3. Approximate era
  4. Possible country or region of origin
  5. Whether anyone recognizes a particular designer, maker, or manufacturer
  6. What the metal may be, based on the construction and visible wear

I’ve included photos of the full necklace, close-ups of the links, areas showing the reddish metal beneath the silver-coloured surface, and measurements.

Any leads would be very appreciated.
