Barber and diamonds hopefully!

[diggingthe1]

Last few hunts I found a few keepers! The 1901 Barber is a little rough but it’s been a while since I found an old coin. I the love the other silver piece. It is stamped sterling on the back and the two stones sure bounce back a lot of light. I know they used glass on old pieces but I don’t know why they would set two broken pieces unless it’s been through a fire. I’m sure hoping they are real! I’ll stop by a jewelry store sometime. Either way it will look very nice on my wife!

That silver piece is very interesting ! The circular units look as though they may have been repurposed from another piece to make the brooch . The design work on it looks to be all hand chased .Could you put up a pic of the back with the sterling mark ?

It is an interesting piece. Thanks for the post! I drew some arrows where there must have been an attachment. Any guesses on the date?

NIce saves on the treasure! If those are diamonds I've never seen a cut like that...Never know until tested...Keep us informed.

scratch test will tell you really quick.

I think the piece dates 1920's/30's - just a wild guess - I'm interested in this piece - it's unlike any I've seen .

I of course do not know much about gems, but IF the stones are real, COULD they be the real deal uncut? Either way, the "sterling" is a nice prize.

Thanks for the posts, I’ll stop by a place and find out today. They scratch glass but I know quartz usually does also. I think your just about right on the date Argentium! Happy Hunting out there.

 

[diggingthe1]

Just glass, but they said some in some vintage jewelry they cut the glass that way to reflect the light. I learned something, maybe next time!

Great digs! I haven't unearthed a Barber dime in a while, I'm jealous.
