Today was a very good day at the garage sales. I picked out all of this jewelry out of a little tub. Everything for $5. of the rings, only the one on the far right is 925. The other two I can't determine. They look Art Deco, don't know if the diamonds are really (probably not). The bracelet indicates 14kt gold but also stamped "Korea". I never knew that they made gold jewelry in Korea. Finally, this silver half dollar on a 14kt gold necklace from Italy. The coin indicates "half Dollar", and "Liberty". I sincerely appreciate everyone's time, help and feedback. :-)

Those are some great finds!! I'd have the Korean piece acid tested but it looks like a good find. That's a nice walking liberty half dollar. Killer scores!!

Looks good as gold to me. When you see a clasp with an extra safety clip that's generally a good sign.

I'd say you scored. Have it tested and let us know because that would be the first Korean gold that I've seen. Nice finds!

I was in Korea when I was in the Navy. They do make gold jewelry. It is not as great as some others, but it certainly can be legit.....Brad
