Its not all costume jewelry... Looks like you have some real gold. You need an acid test kit. I avoid costume jewelry, but if you know what your doing. You can find some real nice pieces..

Keep @ it and HH !!

Hi, The Marvella and Weiss rhinestone jewelry is desirable to some. The pink triangle stone ring appears to say 10K, which means 10 Karat gold. I would have the "gold" nugget pendant tested to see if it is real gold. The rest appears to be as you said Costume.

eBay is your best bet.

Yes, EBay is your best bet.... Good luck and let us know how you do if you sell them.

First, you need to have all of the pieces checked by a respectable Jeweler to weed out what may be real Jewelry (i.e. has genuine gems/stones, real Gold...Silver or Platinum and not plated) and what is Costume Jewelry. Once you have that out of the way, then you should have no problem selling the real Jewelry. You will need to look for the Maker's name or Initials or Company that sold it on each piece, once done, you can research eBay and elsewhere for identical or similar pieces and see what they sold for. You will then have a target price and might want to list them for less (starting price) than that and see where the price goes. About ten years, a local Lady purchased two boxes of Costume Jewelry at a Yard Sale and after going through the items, she felt that several pieces were genuine Jewelry made of Gold with genuine Gems. It is a good thing she had them checked as one piece was Gold with a high quality large Emerald and a friend of mine appraised it at $65,000 and there were other pieces with Rubies, Sapphires and Diamonds.

Looks like all costume jewelery. The Trifari piece has some value, it probably dates from the 60's and if it's intact and undamaged would probably be worth the price you paid for the lot. 10K is only used in the US and is low karat (42%) gold. All in all you probably did better than break even and may be able to double or triple your money if you can find an interested buyer.

The name costume jewelry has value. the 10k gold ring, too. acid test anything that looks like it could be real gold. Use ebay "sold" listings to compare values.

With just the ring you've better than doubled your money. I'd take another look at the cufflinks if I were you. I know a street huckster that would take what's left after removing the precious metal pieces and give me $30. Nice find! You can't lose on the deal you made. At this point it's deciding how hard you want to work to maximize profit vs. a quick turnover.
