I'm going to go with the RJR foods pin/pendant. 10k gold?

It's actually gold filled. The ends of the jade bracelet are 14k gold.

Jade is so popular lately. You may want to check out the value of that piece as jewelry.

Yes. the jade or jadeite or nephrite I think they called it. That style bracelet is very hot. I recently picked up this piece. Lavender and white jade 14K.

WAIT --- WAIT ---- Clorox is right. The medallion is gold filled BUT THE LITTLE planket on the front is solid gold. Both the white part and the yellow part (yellow and white gold). These were made by CTO and are absolutely unmistakable. This is one of the real tricks of the trade. I've scrapped this piece many times. At least 1.5 grams of solid gold in that little thing on the front. You can pop it off with a sharp screw driver or large knife.

Figures. I wondered why it sold for $18 so quick on eBay. Didnt think it would ever sell! Oops!!! I got this the next day for $2 so not all is lost. 17 grams of 14k
