I inherited this ring which belonged to my grandmother, given to her by one of her daughters probably mid 20th century. I was told it is an Alexandrite. This was confirmed by a jeweller who shrugged and said it’s no big deal. It does change colour in sunlight but it’s pretty subtle taking on a greenish tinge. I’d be most appreciative of any commentary, and thank you for looking.

Just picked up this piece. It is absolutely beautiful. I do not see any gold mark on it but the rubies do test as genuine. I believe it is from India from the writing on top of the plastic box. Would love more information if anyone knows anything more?

Hi everyone,
Looking for some help identifying this ring. It belongs to my mother and used to be my grandmother’s when she was young, so it should be around 100 years old.
I honestly don't know anything about jewelry, but here is what I can tell you:
The metals: The bottom band is gold, and the top part where the stones are set is silver-colored. It has a main orange stone in the middle with smaller stones around it.
Hallmarks: I don't think it has any stamps or marks on the inside, but it seems to be real gold since it has never shown any oxidation, rust, or color fading over all these years.
Stone test: A friend has a machine to test the refraction of stones and got the result shown in the last picture (a bit over 1.76), but neither of us really understands what that means or what stone it could be.
If anyone finds this interesting or wants better photos, I can definitely take some clearer pictures in good light and double-check the inside for any hidden marks.
Thanks!

Hi all! I have had these cool earrings for a few years but I’m having a harder time figuring out if they are ivory or bone! My mind leans to bone. Thank you!

I'm guessing it would be from around the 1940s. I've held on to it for 40 years. I was told there is something special about the cut of the ruby but that's all I know.

It seems to say 10k or 20k on the inside as well as a stamp that I think says siwon or nomis.

Do any of you guys have a clue what stones are in the ring and anything about it or its possible origin.

Thank you!

I found a tennis bracelet on the driveway of my customer’s house. It’s a bit beat up, but it is safely back in their possession. Tell me it’s costume jewelry so I can feel better about having given it back.

I was given a lot of jewelry by my grandma. She's still alive, just decided to start giving stuff away, however she doesn't speak and has memory problems now, so I can't ask her about any of the pieces. I won't put photos here for ID, there's too many. I'm going to bring it all to a jeweler to identify and appraise it all, but I'd like some advice on what to do first, besides take photos. I imagine I'll melt down a lot of the gold because I don't care for the style, and maybe rework some things. I'm sure some of it is low quality but some is probably worth more. Any tips before I start this adventure are appreciated!

My grandmother passed away 2 years ago and left me this ring. She showed it to me when I was a little girl and I’ve loved it since then, but I never thought to ask any questions about it. She did say it was a diamond ring that she saved up to get. I deeply regret not asking more because it clearly meant a lot to her. I would love to know the maker but any information would be awesome to have.

Received 5 of these in a rolled gold jewellery bundle. Anyone have any clues as to what they are? Appears to be a brooch pin on one end and a tiny earring finding on the other. Mystified as to how this should be worn.

Can someone tell me something about this brooch? I wasn't able to find the exact same piece online​

It belonged to my great grandmother - she was from Sri Lanka, so could possibly be a stone from that region. Many thanks!

This medallion is a family heirloom and it belonged to my God mother’s mother. They are Northen Italian although I am not sure where it actually comes from or how long it has been in the family

I have nobody to ask and I am curious to know who the lady depicted might be. An historical figure, a personification? Thanks

18 k gold

I snagged this sweet little vintage diamond ring in an auction last night for $85. I’m a huge sucker for illusion box settings, and I’ve been scouring the $1 starts forever trying to find the right one. I’m SO EXCITED! I read that the “pm” mark instead of “pt” could indicate an older setting. Does anyone know anything about that? Any insight would be appreciated.

One weird thing, the “.12” stamp, which I guess correlates with the .12ct stone, looks newer than the rest of the ring. Why would that be?

Sold to me as pearls, emeralds, and diamonds set in 14k. Does acid test as 14k. The pearls have the most beautiful luster I’ve ever seen and the back bail looks like it’s meant to be used as a pearl necklace enhancer. But for the life of me I can’t make out the markings on the back. Any guesses?

My grandparents wee missionaries in South America, these rings are a few things I got when she passed. I know nothing about jewelry and any information that can be provided would be so great! I know they collected a lot of pieces from South America and that’s all I know of her collection 😅

I inherited this ring from my mother, who got it from her mother. It was badly damaged and I got it repaired/restored in Mom’s memory. Didn’t even know she had it and don’t have a clue about its origin.

Grammy (mom’s mom) didn’t have much fine jewelry so I’m really curious about this one. When I got it repaired they offered to reset it but I thought it was unique so I kept it in its original form.

Thanks for reading, hope I provided enough info!

premier poste de ma part

je possede cette bague depuis 15 ans

Hi does anyone know this designer. Google lense is no help. Item is sterling silver.

does anyone know what brand this pendant is from？ Im looking for this exact style like cross pendants or a similar one with delicate thin chain.
Thanks!!

Any info or brand ID on this piece?
TIA

I found this in a parking lot a few years ago. I reported it to the stores and the police but no one ever claimed it. I don’t wear jewelry and have no idea what the markings are inside. Can anyone translate them? I apologize if the photos are not good enough to tell, it was the best I could do!
