*CLOSED* Authenticate This Jewelry

Not open for further replies.
Hello, I’m a VCA newbie and I’ve been looking to acquire the large YG frivole earrings for some time but every time I see them on ann’s, they get snatched up so quickly! As luck would have it and my prayers answered, a pair with a box and certificate of authenticity popped up one night when I was having trouble sleeping (talk about luck!).

Anyway, I jumped at the opportunity so quickly to put down a deposit for layaway and now I’m slowly reviewing the photos and I’m feeling worried especially with the photos of the stamping at the back. All the other stamps I’ve seen say “VCA 750” but this one says “VCA G750”. Additionally the serial number on the ones I put on layaway are 2 letters and 6 numbers while the ones I’ve seen are 2 letters and 5 numbers; I understand with newer models the serial number will be longer but I’m still a bit antsy now.

Ann’s is a reputable reseller and I know if anything happens they’ll give me my money back. But in this case I really hope these are real and I hope a Van Cleef pro can just confirm they are authentic so I can finally be happy with my score. Thank you so much.

Hi

Can someone remind me how to authenticate VCA? Ie the cost
I bought a pair of Van cleef diamond earrings from FASHIONPHILE
I just compared w the ones in Van cleef and the ones in Van cleef actually felt like lighter ( in wt) gold.
Does anyone know if the weight of earrings has Changed over time??
 
Hi all, first time poster a long time lurker ! I’m in the market for my first love bracelet 18 karat yellow gold, I’m going to take a look at one tomorrow morning for sale by a private seller(via someone selling on Facebook market here in NYC) everything so far looks OK but when I look at this serial number and looking it up online, there usually is a space between the three letters and numbers .... happy for any insight any professionals on this form might be able to give me

Thanks!

I've never posted on the jewelry subforum so I hope this is the right place.

I found and took a chance on what I believe might be a genuine 14K diamond ring. ($2.99 at a thrift store so it was worth taking a chance.)

I'd never heard of 585 as being 14K but the clerk told me this isn't gold because it only has "58." But it looks like there wasn't enough room for the "5."

It's missing one stone and if genuine, I will invest in a stone and have the ring sized to fit me. Is it worth getting an appraisal?

I hope my pictures (through a magnifying glass) are good enough. If not, I can try again later.

Thanks in advance!

Hi BeenBurned, it’s a beautiful ring! Great find. Does it have any other marks? How much does it weigh? The number 58 could be the size so check the diameter- it will measure around 18.5mm if it is the size marking. Appraisals can be expensive, especially if your really not sure that the piece is worth it. You could always take it in to a local pawn shop as if you wanted to sell it. They can do the acid test there and then to tell you what metal it is. Finally, if it is real and you want to size it, it will most likely cost quite a bit as it looks like the setting is a full band. Hope this helps [emoji253]
