Finds have been good lately, just haven’t had the inertia to make post - this one however requires a posting:

The clasp is 18k and the beads are at least 20k. Coral and some sort of carved wood or seed. It looked like gold, but I did not remotely believe it until testing. Researching it now. Anybody have any ideas?

Love it! Great eye picking out unmarked gold, you have to take a chance, but it can pay off.

The clasp looks like it is 22-24 k. Not sure on the stones and value. But I’d think it’s worth $300-400 Minimum?

Nice. Looks like it is from Tibet or Southern China. Possibly Hedaio (carved seeds or pits).
