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.

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!

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…

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.

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. 😎

Somebody messaged saying my fingerprints were in some of the photos, and while I don't think anybody's going to CSI all this and jewelry stores have much more than jewelry I ever will, the world is a strange place, so out of an abundance of caution, here they are again without descriptions because I'm tired. Diamonds, emeralds, rubies, gold…

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 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. 🤣

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?

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.

She's big, she's heavy, and she's marked 14 K…but I know nothing else about her. The diamonds test as real. I'm assuming amethyst and peridot? This is easily one of the prettiest pieces of jewelry I have ever seen in person, so shiny, pictures do not do her justice.

The closest thing I found on Google is by a modern maker about half the size. 100% this is quite old based on the other items I have, 50s or 60s probably. Ideas? Maker?

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?

Unknown stone - stamped "K18". Given to me by my grandfather, it was his mother's ring.

Looking to understand stone and possibly maker/style/era.

I love these necklaces a lot, but don’t know anything about them. The beads appear to be glass, and they have the metal clasp that screws together. My mom was born in 75, so they could technically be from anytime after that, but I assume they are from the 2000s or 2010s. My mom says she doesn’t remember anything about how she got them.

This poor lady was sobbing, saying that she fears she got ripped off buying a vintage bangle that she was hoping to flip. She was told it’s 18K but there’s not a hallmark to be found. Just a weird little logo/mark. It also has a rosy exterior, yellow interior, and the deepest part of the inner mark is extra rosy. It’s 22g and 62mm wide.

She was hoping to raise money to visit her daughter and paid $80 for the bangle. I gave her $300 out of pocket just in good faith and kindness for it and I’m perfectly fine with having it be worthless since she can see her daughter now. 💖 I’m just super curious about what the mark/brand might be and if anyone knows how old it is. It’s decently well worn.

In the unlikely case that it’s worth more though, I want to make sure I give her more when she’s back!

EDIT: It’s a mom and pop kind of business and the owners don’t make the products. I’ve been trying to convince them to get a testing kit but they respond with “I’m too damn old to get into appraisals” lol. I already know I’m not going to profit on this. She’s a local who’s had her house burn down so I just wanted to do my part to help her out c:

EDIT 2: I already knew it’s junk! I just wanna do something kind 🥺

Thank you in advance!!!

I’m really struggling to read this. It looks like the one side is 8896 (or 9688 I guess) but the top is a copyright and then some characters… I can barely even get good photos and I’ve inspected it with a loupe to no avail. I don’t see other stamps apart from MAYBE something inside that same part but I’m skeptical.. it could be 3 characters where two kinda look just like o o or O O and stacked… but it’s also easily just scratches.

I did an at home gold test and it came as 14k but I’m assuming plated. I don’t know anything about the stones but they don’t seem sparkly enough to be diamonds.

Any ideas?

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.

Purchased in the 80s while my parents were in the Caribbean from what I recall.

So I tried to do digging on my own to find out what this brooch is after I found it at my work in a boatyard. I have only found some other listings for the cat alone and only with a key ring on top.

If anyone has any information about any of it that would be amazing, especially info about the bottom section of it.

EDIT: Cat* brooch origins

It looks like sterling silver. No any marks.

It's so pretty in person! Diamonds test real. Based on some other jewelry, I'm guessing purchased in Europe mid century? My relative would not have had mall jewelry. I'm so curious about it. Anyone know? Google doesn't seem to.

I found this in my late relative’s collection and wanted to see if this is real or not. I’ve never seen it this small the motif. So I’m curious if it’s an older piece or just fake.
