14K and Sterling Balls? Need help with ID

[jason4kstate]

I picked these up today for $20. I have no clue what they are. They are held together by a magnet. The hallmark says "Jesus ? 585 ED" Any help ID'ing what these are and who made them would be appreciated. Thanks!

How big are they? Definitely super interesting.

 

[jason4kstate]

They are 1" across. The gold weighs 17.2 grams but I imagine most of that is the magnet.

Crazy. I have no idea. Maybe some sort of earring?

Fancy Baoding / Stress balls? Look like something Captain Queeg would go crazy for...

Very cool find!

Interesting!! Is the sterling one marked the same on the inside? Is the other mark ed or something else? That signature I can’t read. Hate cursive. Think the first letter is F. But heck if I know.

 

[jason4kstate]

Yes its marked the same. It just says 925/1000 ED. The first name says "Jesus." The last name is very difficult to read.

In fact I think if you search in silver you will have a better chance of finding the maker. Whatever is in that other mark is down there by the 585.

Magnetic cufflinks I've never heard of them before, but looking online there is such a thing. Those are not made of gold and silver and look more like conventional cufflinks though.
