Welcome to TreasureNet. Glad to have you aboard. Looks like a big, heavy bracelet. How many carats? Is the ring junk or is it silver or ?? Nice haul.

Congrats. ;D I am not 100% sure but I believe the A.V.C stands for Antelope Valley College out of L.A. Wish I had your luck

Just looked at that bracelet again. The letters A.Z. have periods after them, the C doesn't.And the spacing of the letters is uneven. Strange. You'd think something as valuable as that much gold would have all the periods after the initials and the spacing more even, wouldn't you? Hmmm

The Bracelet was 14k gold after all. I took it to the mall jewelry store for estimate. I was told it had a value of $300.00 ( gold Weight). As far as the period after the last letter I agree if I had this made I would have added the last period. Also There was gum on the clasp. It was broken and then secured with chewing gum. As for the ring in the picture, it is gold plated steel. I found it in an abandoned housing project.
