Need some help with a price

[Turbo21]

I picked up a bag of jewlery from the thrift store and got a few keepers. I am thinking of listing this pendant on ebay instead of just taking scrap value for it. Close to 2 grams of 14k gold. Opal. And 5 diamonds (real)

Any idea what it would fetch? And how many carat diamond is it? I can provide more pics if necessary

Thanks

Bob

Should fetch around $75-$100 I would think. Here is a similar that weighs 1.3 grams- Ladies' Genuine Oval Fire Opal and Diamond Pendant in 14k Yellow Gold | eBay

You need a micrometer to measure the stones. Here is some info. regarding sizes and measuring stones- Diamond Carat | Learn About Carat Weight of Diamonds| Carats

When you list on Ebay, part of your narrative might tell the viewer what type of fire opal this is; there are about a dozen types (classifications). Putting down some 'ink' on the specific classification may produce a higher price realized.

Thanks guys for the help. The price sounds about right.
I know there are many different types of opal so it will take some research. To figure out the type

Adding the origin of your stone (Arizona, Australia or ?) will also enhance your Ebay narrative.
Good luck,

I couldn't help my self and went back and grabbed the other bag for $25

2 small sterling rings. And was really surprised by this crucifix
Very very light for its size about 3 grams and hollow. No markings. But I acid test anything that even remotely looks like gold lol. Tested at 14k so a very pleasant surprise
I really hate to sell this for scrap

So I am thinking of listing with a buy it now of $100. Too much?? Too little?

Just curious... did you test that for 18k? that marks sure looks like the top of an 8 to me.
The pendant that is.

Actually I didn't. And I see what you are seeing. I will test for 18 here shortly and post the results. Thanks for the heads up

Retested at 14k. Look with a loupe. It is a 4. The blur in the pic makes it look like 8
