? Pendant, old Costume Jewelry, Emblem

[Degries]

Found this yesterday in a old park in Detroit that dates back to the early 1900's. What looks like fake diamonds around the outside, hollow on the inside. Made out of metal, at first I though silver but I don't think so. A little bit heavy.

Does that thing open up at all or is it just made to look 3-d with the bottom being proportionally larger than the top? It is sure made like a pendant. The back looks weird.

[Degries]

It don't seem to open.

welcome to the t'net that a pretty interesting item

[thrillathahunt]

I believe this is silver even though it does not appear to be marked. A base metal would be way more corroded. Loop is broken, probably fell off a chain.

1920's?

Are you sure those are "fake" diamonds? The size of the "tips" on each corner of the stones looks like what you find around "real" diamonds. Take it to a jeweler and see what you can find out. - Noodle

[thrillathahunt]

Good point Noodle! You might want to check it too for possibly being "white gold."

they don't usually put that much effort into generic items

I'd be at the Jewely Store with a Certified Gemologist tomorrow morning bright and early. Looks real to me. Breezie

I vote silver.

I'm with Silver too and those stones don't look like glass. Nice piece
It first struck me as looking religious.

I'm going to guess Platinum with Diamonds.

[Noodle]

I'm guessing white gold with diamonds. Let us know!!!

[Breezie]

I'm voting PLATINUM with DIAMONDS. Breezie

when you look through the back can you see the tips of the stones? they usually leave it open if it's diamonds, for better light refraction

[Degries]

Was able to get this in today and have it looked at. I was told it looks like it may be silver plated and the stones most likely are not real . It was a neat find anyway. It is open below the stones and you can see the stones from the bottom.

[Breezie]

By chance did he/she offer to buy it since it wasn't real? Breezie
