Would appreciate any help with this necklace I inherited.
One small hallmark (?) on the clasp, I think it might be low quality rubies and sapphires but not certain and not sure what the green stones are. I believe the metal could be gold, no clue if it’s 9/10/14/18ct.
Any knowledge is super appreciated. Thank you!
Hello 🌿 I was given this from a lovely man in his mid/late 90’s when I was about 11/12y.o (2002/2003) and wanted to share it here.
I’m 99% certain it’s costume jewellery, but that doesn’t matter to me because l love it. I’d just love to know if anyone could tell me anything about it, such as historical insights? I don’t know when it was made, what its value is (aside the sentimental value), if the design is reminiscent of jewellery from other periods, etc.
It was his wife’s - he bought this for her very early in their marriage and he said she would wear it to parties and balls. I played chess with him at the cafe my parents owned, and kept him company once or twice a week at his home when I could (mainly reading or listening to the radio and cooking together).
I still cherish this necklace after all these years and think of him to this day - I was too young and bewildered by the ✨shiny✨ to ask him anything about the actual necklace at the time, and he sadly passed away a few days after gifting this.
I plan to wear this as a hair piece for my wedding 🌿
Any insight shared would be so appreciated!
Hello 🙏🏽 I recently purchased this bangle online from a seller in Thailand - whilst I know it’s not the same calibre as some of the beautiful bangles shared in the community, I personally love it, and believe it to be untreated jadeite but would love to know peoples thoughts!
It’s 51mm, 66.1gms, “moss in snow”. Some obvious stone lines but I actually quite like them.
I thought it was treated at first but I really can’t tell just from sight obviously - no glow under UV however. I know stonelines impact price of jade, but not sure how much so would appreciate any insights!
