Goodwill find

I'm not sure of this is real gold or not but it had a makers mark and was only a dollar. Any idea on the maker. No other marks on it

Also got these but they're brass. They looks alittle southwestern. No maker mark the. I need to get a gold testing kit

Tell ya what, the bracelet has a good look to it. You will have to acid test. Good luck!

The bracelet looks like one I had that was 21k gold. I would definitely have it checked. Sold mine for $400+

 

[housemom6]

That's what I thought when I saw it. It was kind of gunked up but a tooth brush and a cleaning rag made it shine

 

[JimDon]

Hope it's real. Be sure to let us know

 

[housemom6]

I will especially if I'm doing the happy dance 😂

 

[housemom6]

DOH! WA WA WAAAAAA. NOT A WINNER on the bracelet. It's only plated... Do you think I could get anything for it?

 

[housemom6]

I need to remember to bring my magnet to these things. I'm such a rookie. I forgot to check

😢 Sorry! Some plated stuff sells. Look at completed auctions.
If it looks good, and you think it won't move on eBay, take it to a consignment shop. I consign a ton of my stuff.

Thanks. I took a magnet to it myself. That woman was crazy it is not magnetic. I bought a testing kit and it's tested for 18k. I'm gonna take it to another place.

Who did you take it to who said it was plated? I know when I very first got started I was taking things to a cash-for-gold place that was staffed by a guy who not only ripped me off but refused items as plated/fake that later tested fine and sold accordingly. He was the perfect blend of condescending and ignorant lol, I didn't go to him for very long before finding people who were both pleasant and informed to take my business to instead.

 

[housemom6]

I took it to a local jeweler and then to a cash for gold. The woman was nice enough but I could see her doing the magnet test. I have a very strong magnet now and on the wood table it doesn't move. She did it on what looked to me a file cabinet.

Also, always carry a loupe with you! It will definitely help you identify items! I took a whole bunch of art to my favorite thrift store today. I bought it almost a year ago when I was a novice thinking that it was original, but I looked at them carefully with my loupe and sure enough they were prints! All the best!

Thanks Rj. I'll have to get one. I don't know art from a hole in my head. I'm a I don't know art but I know what I like kind of girl

I can't positively confirm this but the square with 2 dots in the center mark is mentioned as being from the Finberg Manufacturing Company. What is jewelry mark square with two dots inside, one on top of the other mean? - I have a choker & earrings set that has a square with two dots inside on the necklace clasp. I can not find anything on this mark. Is this a makers mark and if so, for

It is a nice looking bracelet, I hope it tests conclusively positive, for you.

 

[housemom6]

Yeah I found that but nothing else. Thanks diggum

 

[Cassews]

Did you find out if its real gold or not ? Very pretty none the less

 

[housemom6]
