I picked this up at a TS that is usually pretty good on spotting There gold and silver and there prices are usually high but I took a gamble to see if I could spot gold without it being Marked there is no marks but numbers hopefully you can tell by the pictures thanks for looking ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1432754351.168662.jpg ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1432754361.642566.jpg ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1432754371.862222.jpg ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1432754389.317918.jpg ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1432754400.607287.jpg

I have one with a similar clasp and it is marked 14 K. It's also yellow gold.

I would guess yours is Goldfield too. I think something 14 can't even market I suppose there's a possibility it wore off if somebody wore it a lot. Did you test it?

I take that back I bet it is 14 K. Being that has the same type of clasp how it connects there that's pretty fancy for Goldfilled I think.

I bet it is Gold! No reason to put a Serial number on it if it is only Gold filled or plated! I would think it is/was marked but you just haven't found it or it wore off.

I bought the same type of bracelet in 10kt at a estate sale after it was out with costume jewelry for three days and no one bought it. The mark was really small on the inside clasp thing. I paid .50 cents for it. My guess on yours is gold.

You paid $42 for something you weren't quite sure was gold?

Well, it looked good and he took a gamble on it!:thumbsup: $42 gamble for $240.76 worth of Gold at melt ain't too bad! Can't say that I would have done the same but it sure would be nice to hit a winner every now and then.

Yes it's one way to make sure you get it right the first few time your you stop trying to fine unmarked gold at least for me but normally I don't pay that high of a price but it look too good
