My wife bought quite a few QVC stuff back in the early 90s. After awhile she wasn't wearing it and I told I could get some cash out of it if she didn't wanna wear them anymore. That's what I did with it all as I took it to the local pm buyer. I might have gotten more out of it than she paid, because gold was worth a lot less back when QVC was telemarketing all that gold jewelry. All of it was set with those faux diamond stones.

Just curious where are the markings. I just inherited a large collection of jewelery and I am sorting it this weekend.

That's a pretty broad question. Most pieces have the hallmarks in a semi-hidden spot. Rings/bracelets generally have the marks inside. Earrings often have marks on the part that goes through the ear. Pins/brooches sometimes have very small marks on the clasp fastener. Pieces that have a lot of wear and/or have been resized may not have marks at all. Separate the obvious costume jewelry from the better looking pieces. Carefully examine the "good stuff" with a magnifying glass under a bright light. Keep in mind that a mark doesn't guarantee the piece is real.

Start with a magnet if you've put it off so far. It'll save you time by removing non precious metal from the equation. Just keep in mind there are magnetic springs in the clasps and that is ok even for gold and silver jewelry. Go back and check the costume later for designer pieces and such - you'd be surprised what some of the costume jewelry can be worth!
