Seeking Judaism or Jewlery expert

[007]

I will tell you as much info that I know ,I know this is a Torah pendent , I am sure that it is both yellow and white Gold , both the exterior , and ten commandments in the interior , My question is what are the gems , the clear gem in the middle is , small but a dark blue in nature , and what are the other 4 , I'm sure this is a vintage piece , and my best find thus far .

beautiful gold pendant, bezel set with gemstones, ruby, emerald, looks like an amethyst.. didnt see the other.. will check again.. I cannot tell if those two stones top rite and bottom left are green in color?

That's nice!

the gem at the top right of the first image looks to be Jade, but the green on at the bottum left looks more like emerald,

What a lovely, gracious piece!

[DCMatt]

Wow! Very nice piece!

I can't help with the gems, but I saw a similar estate piece on ebay. They were asking $1200!

Write a quick blurb about how and where you found it and this could be a banner item IMHO.

my best guess -- red is ruby , green is emerald --- the deep blue stone is either sapphire or if purplish toned maybe amethyst

[007]

Hey Thanks for the info here is some better Photos , If you look at the updated Photos , what are the chances the center stone may be a Blue Diamond or sapphire

[ivan salis]

sapphire odds are good , I 'd say looking at the close up photo.

I have a friend that is Jewish, I may be seeing him and his wife on new years, I will ask if he knows anything about it.

[007]

That would be Great kytreasureghost ,theclose up photos the stones are arranged from lighter to darker colors , forexample the top right stone is a light Green , while thebottom left is a darker green . But any help in identifying the stone would be a tremendous help .
Hope you and your Friends have a very Happy & festive New Year ..

I would say the green stones are jade, AKA greenstone or pounamu - in New Zealand. The difference in shade of color is typical between two pieces.
The red stones appear to be Jasper.
The central blue stone - you need a qualified person to inspect it, but here's some comparisons

Its a Torah. Sometimes given at bar mitzvahs. I have a jewish friend that owns a large jewelry store and will send him the link. This is a very well made cutom one and very decorative.
You will get more selling it as the custom piece it is to a jewish dealer or store.(not a pawn shop)
Nice recovery I am sure it was a very special gift at the time. I am sure all the stones are real because of the settings. I am surprised there is no date and name on the back.
