First off, I apologize if this is the wrong forum. I considered putting it in the scrap metals forum but you folks seem to know quite a bit about the value of gold jewelry.
I'm trying to figure out how much these items are worth. I received them from my father in-law who received them as awards from GM for many years of service. He took them to a local coin/jewelry dealer who lowballed him on price. There are 5 pieces but the three pieces below are representative of what he received. I would be grateful to anyone who can add some perspective.
The first piece is marked 10k. The marked portion is obviously 10k. But is the clutch back and chain also expected to be 10k or would you assume that they are just plated since they aren't marked?
The second piece (looks like a bracelet??) is also marked 10k. Should I expect the chain to also be 10k?
The final piece (looks like a silver bracelet
) is marked as gold filled. The marking is 1/20 10k. Same question: should I expect the chain to also be gold filled? I'm assuming that this is white gold even though it looks silver. Is this correct?
Thanks!
