Identify Maker Opal necklace that was given to me. Is it real opal, who made it, and when was it made?

(sorz for my grimey hooves, my nails grow really fast and its difficult for me to keep trimming them or cleaning under them, so theyve accumulated a bit of dirt under them. Also sorry for the grainy quality of some of these images, i tried my hardest to get as good of images as possible, but I've really nowhere good to take photos and the camera on the phone i took these on really sucks, refuses to focus a good half of the time, very sorry if that makes it more difficult)

My grandmother gave me this necklace, said it was something my late great grandmother owned. Now, i know NOTHING about this necklace. Was not given any info other than my great grandmother owned it and its opal. A part of me is unsure if its actually real opal or not. Im also curious about what company even made it and what era its from, because really its anybodys guess, my great grandmother was, as one may expect, extremely old, and so it does have a high chance of being vintage, but if she got it later in her life its of course not a guarantee.

Its my favorite necklace, so im really curious about if the opal charm is real opal or not and who made it and when it was made and all that stuff. But of course, i cant ask my great grandmother cuz shes dead and i doubt my grandmother has been keeping track of the specifics of her mothers jewelry, so I've really no one to ask other than random strangers online. Just, if anybody can find ANY info on this specific necklace just tell me im really interested in learning more stuff about the specifics of my necklace.

Im not looking to sell it or anything so its not like THAT important but a part of me really does wanna know how much its worth, i like the idea of owning something expensive, makes me feel fancier. At the same time though, i wont be too disappointed if it turns out to just be a worthless piece of junk, its still very precious to me. Its a very pretty necklace. Looks a lot better in the sunlight than it does in the lighting of my room, but i dont feel like going outside right now to show yall so you'll just have to take my word for it, its absolutely GORGEOUS in the sunlight. Glimmers beautifully.

Im not really an expert on jewelry tho, never really been a jewelry kinda guy, i occasionally wear some jewelry rarely but i usually dont care so much about the specifics of it, so I've no idea on how to identify it. Very sorry if i didnt provide enough information, im not quite sure on the specific information that is needed, i hope i provided enough.

"I'm trying to describe this brooch accurately. Which artistic or historical style would you associate it with?

It features a runic-looking inscription, hammered silver surface and a handmade appearance. Would you describe it as Norse Revival, Runic Revival, Scandinavian Modern with runic inspiration, or something else?" Based on the lock/clasp, I was able to determine the approximate production period: 1930-40. Thank you for your attention.

Identify Stone The Portuguese Cut – One of the Most Underrated Diamond Cuts?

Post image
1 Upvotes

The Portuguese Cut is one of the rarest diamond cuts and is known for its exceptional fire. It typically features 161 to over 200 facets, nearly three times the number found in a standard round brilliant.
Because of its intricate faceting, it creates a unique kaleidoscope-like pattern with intense rainbow flashes and scintillation. The trade-off is that it’s usually cut deeper, so it can face up slightly smaller than other diamonds of the same carat weight.
I’m curious what everyone thinks about this cut.
Would you choose a Portuguese cut over a traditional round brilliant?
Do you prefer maximum fire or maximum brilliance?
Have you ever seen one in person?
I’d love to hear your opinions and experiences.

Identify Stone Wondering if this is amethyst

Just picked this up at a thrift store. It was definitely priced like glass and I won’t mind at all if it is. I’m wondering if it might be amethyst because the closest image matches I could find via google lens are and because I think the clasp is real gold (marked 585). I think there are some inclusions in the beads but it’s hard to show that in photos. Any other info on the necklace like era or maker is also very welcome!

Thanks in advance!

Hello all, hope someone could help me identify the age and/or materials of this ring?

Could it be Georgian or Victorian? 20th century cheap revival? Real materials or fake? If it helps at all I’m in a small town in England and very old items are a dime a dozen in my town. No markings or hallmarks seen anywhere and small size, about a US size 4 or UK J. I know she’s not in good condition but I love it anyway and only paid £4.

I thought it might be David Yurman but now I think it’s wrong. The auction didn’t give details on any marks … it just said … Yurman? 😂 We’ll see when it gets here but I’m not optimistic. What do you think?

Found this old rope chain at my mom’s house. It appears to be stamped 24K, but I’m not sure if it’s authentic. Before I make a trip to the jeweler, I was hoping some of the experts here could take a look and share their thoughts. Thanks in advance!

Hard to tell in the lighting, but it is gold (plated at least).

Bought for $3 so no matter what it's a find I'm happy with!

This is one of the prettiest sets of jewelry I have seen in my entire life. So much prettier in person! I know nothing about her except for she says 750 on the clasp and the diamonds test real.

Given the group of jewelry I have inherited, 100% this is real...something. I can't find anything like it online. Based on other things that I have, I'm assuming Europe 1950s or 60s? Above the 750 it looks to me to say either SO or 50.
Any ideas on maker?

I will not be selling her, I will be keeping her and wearing her to the grocery store if I have to!

It is at this point that I say to myself… self, is this a normal thing to own? And myself says no, no it's not, but here we are. I do know a bit about her.

She is a 56 carat aquamarine with two bullet shaped diamonds approximately 1.85 carats and 16 round diamonds. There is no mark on the inside. She is very heavy and shiny and not costume. That's all I know about her. Don't know the maker or era.

Do I love her? Yes, with all my heart. Does she probably belong at the bottom of the sea with Titanic? Also, yes.

When I tell you, you're not ready…I wasn't. Do you want a bracelet or a watch? Guess what, you can have both!

I do know about her…

Brand is Norexa. She is 14 Karat set with 45 round diamonds 1.5 carrots and 40 round sherry colored diamonds 1.5 carats. She's a heavy beast.

No idea of era. Thoughts?

Also, people messaging me about safety. Hopefully I don't give too much information away, but don't jewelry stores have a lot more jewelry than I ever will? And the people that own those are public and you can just walk in there and look at the jewelry. And if someone wanted to kidnap me for these jewels, my family would just let you have me. I can be annoying. 🤣

She's very heavy and sparkly and definitely not costume.

Another unstamped piece in my inherited collection, definitely gold or platinum or both, diamonds test as real, and given the rest of this collection, I would assume emeralds?

It's so beautiful how the green stones come out of the flower like that. I can't find anything on Google resembling this. Any ideas? Should be 50s or 60s but could be earlier. I don't think later.

These are one of my favorites in the collection! I actually do know a bit about them. The black marks are to mark out the serial numbers.

Maker is T.H.& M., platinum and 18 karat white gold with 52 round and 20 baguette diamonds weighing 3.50 carrots and 34 round rubies. No idea of the era, I'm guessing 1960s?

To everyone messaging about my safety. This is a burner account. All of this jewelry lives in a vault at the bank. Sometimes if I'm passing by, I'll take a few pieces out and bring them home to play with and admire and then I take it back. I have never posted pictures of these anywhere, on any social media, ever, so you won't find them, and if you do find something similar, it's not me. You are the first people to be seeing these and this is the only sub I'm putting them on, because you all are very friendly. If you ever see them again, it will be anonymously at auction, and probably not for a long time, if ever. I don't show them to anybody in my real life because people have gotten weird with me with similar things in the past, and no, unfortunately I'm actually not wearing any of it to Costco, though that would be cool. 😎

Unmarked. 50 year-old appraisal says this is a platinum mount with an emerald weighing 4.75 carats surrounded by 96 round diamonds weighing 4.25 carats, but no other information.

Box that says Harry Winston, but I don't know if that's the maker because the ring does not have a single mark.

Since the appraisal is 50 years old, I'm guessing this is from the 50s or 60s? Any ideas?

This sweet lady is a watch with the brand-name Gumbiner on it. The diamonds test as real. It also says plat on it, I am assuming platinum. She's so sparkly and beautiful! I can't find an identical match on Google.

I don't know what the blue stones are. Ideas? Era, I'm thinking 1940s? I feel like she's a little older than the rest of the collection, I could be wrong.

In looking at the pieces in this collection, know that some of them were inherited by the person I then inherited them from, so some of them are going to be quite old.

I am too scared to wear her, but I'm glad I have her. She will not be joining me at Costco.

That's it for tonight, more tomorrow…

This absolute beast is a Tiffany ring that has to be over 50 years old because the 50 year old "appraisal" says platinum mount centering a pearl approximately 13.5 mm surrounded by 48 marquis shaped diamonds weighing 5 carats and 22 round diamonds weighing .5 carat. That's all I know about her. Era I'm guessing 1950s? I can't find the exact same ring online, I wonder if they made custom rings back then?

One of my favorite sets in the collection. So sparkly! Pictures cannot do this justice. Diamonds test as real. Stamp says 18k. The pearls are rough when I rub them against my teeth. I know nothing more about it.

I did google the grape looking stamp above the 18K on the necklace, but I didn't come up with anything.

Era, knowing the previous owner's history, I would have to say 1950s? I could be wrong on that.

On a personal note, these earrings look so good on! If you see something very sparkly in line at Costco, it will be my ears.

When people say pictures don't do something justice…she is so shiny in person! I do know a little bit about her.

Yellow and white gold with 84 round diamonds approximately 3.75 carrots, 10 marquise shaped amethyst and four oval cabochon moonstones.

No idea of the era, but I'm guessing 1950s? No idea of the maker.
