Today's thrift store gold and need some logo help

Picked up a bag of jelwery at the thrift store today. Got a few keepers. And a heartbreaker. The big chain is marked 14k. But is fake

The gold in the pic of the scale is gold fill. And the rosary and hearts on bench charm are sterling. The pin is 10k. And just over 2 grams. Nice purple stone. Maybe amethyst ? I have been searching for the identity of the logo on the pin and came up empty so far. Does anyone recognize it???

Paid $30 for the bag. So I am ahead on this one

The Gold pin could be one of those lesser known Corporation's Achievement Award type of thing , Could you please show a pic of
thenice Sterling rosary cross ? (the front please ) That's a good find !

( the longer bit with the chain - is that a tie clasp ? is it hallmarked ? )

I agree with Argentium. The pin is probably some sort of service or sales award, although I don't know the company it represents.

I figure it was a smaller company. Not much showed on the research

Here is the front of the rosary

I was very surprised with 2 of the bracelets. I pulled out. Was sure they were sterling but failed acid test. I have had identical bracelets in the past from taxco that were sterling. Lots of disappointment from this bag

I'm a little surprised that the bracelet with the "turquoise" failed for sterling - No worries, the rosary and sterling crucifix is
easily worth more than you paid for the lot !

Could it "B" as in Baldor electric motors in Fort Smith, Arkansas? They are still in business. The logo looks familiar to me some how. The stone might represent an electron. They float around an atom if my high school science memory is right.

The bracelets are likely "alpaca" imitation silver alloy.
Real shame on that fake 14K necklace, really got my heart pumping when I saw the pick before reading your full story.
Nice sterling rosary and 10K gold though! :thumbsup:
