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]
Thanks for responding @Canturi lover

Would 18.5 mm be the inside diameter or outside. OD is about 20 mm and ID is about 18 (or maybe 18.5. (It's difficult to measure.)

I don't have a jewelry scale to weigh it but the quality seems better than costume jewelry and that's why I took the chance on it.

I will take it (at some point) to a pawn shop or jeweler for testing.

The inside diameter will be around 18.5mm. I’ve never seen costume jewellery that has the size engraved, so on that basis, I think you have a great bargain [emoji253]

Hi - I have a question about an onyx holiday VCA pendant that I found on eBay from a very reputable Japanese reseller. This pendant looks authentic to me. However, I noticed that the VCA/serial number tag is oriented differently from other VCA pendants. I have attached a photo of the onyx pendant compared to the 2018 holiday pendant I bought directly from VCA for comparison (the tag on the 2018 holiday pendant is upside down compared to the onyx pendant). Can the placement of this tag be random?

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.)

The style is called an eternity band/eternity ring. The 58 could be a total carat weight (TCW) mark, as in .58 carats, or a tad bigger than 1/2 carat. All those holes on the inside are strange and not typical of a gold ring set with gems; normally it's either smooth on the reverse or else it would expose the bottom of pave set diamonds. This is neither. Sizing a ring like this would be either prohibitive or impossible.

There are at-home kits for testing gold/silver, in which you apply a drop and the color change shows the content.

Hi! I recently bought a Yurman cable bracelet in citrine/14k gold. My main concern is only one side of the tips is stamped. The other is blank with no DY. Does anyone know if that’s a sign it’s more than likely fake? I compared it to an authentic 5 mm I have and it’s slightly thinner and lighter in weight. I have major concerns about authenticity. Here are some pictures. The ones with 2 are comparing my authentic pearl bracelet with this new one I bought secondhand. The grooves of the cable aren’t as deep either. Any input would be greatly appreciated! IMG_6319.JPGIMG_6321.JPGIMG_6322.JPGIMG_6325.JPGIMG_6329.JPGIMG_6328.JPG
 
Hi all.
I am sure this has been asked many times before i am looking to purchase a cartier love ring and one has come up for sale but the seller can not confrim the authenticity.

I have tried to look for tell tale signs on forums and other sites but there does not seem to be enough info out there for me to make a educated guess.

Please can anyone help or have there input as to what they think.

Many thanks.
Meg

Hi everyone, I’m new here, and I have a question about the authenticity of the pieces provided by this business, particularly the VCA alhambra pieces I was planning to purchase. This Instagram page, ‘diamond.drip.jewellers’ sells a lot of jewellery, and it seems to be priced lower than usual. The authenticity certificates for VCA also seem to be different to what I’ve seen before. Could you please help me authenticate?

Unfortunately, authentic VCA will not be selling for 1/3 the normal price, especially for new releases.

I can't see the prices but at a quick glance, they could either be selling refurbished second hand jewellery, or counterfeits, or a combination of both.

I have a cable bracelet purchased from a DY boutique that's only stamped on one side.
 
Hello! Can anyone help authenticate this Cartier Mini Love ring in platinum?

Thank you in advance!

I need your help authenticating this watch, please.

It was purchased on an auctionsite and I bought it in 2005, before I knew about fakes other than obvious plastic Louis Vuitton bags.

It is difficult taking better pictures but there are Gucci logos on alæ the smaller parts.

On the front it says

Gucci
“Gucci logo”
Quartz
Swiss made

And on the back

Gucci-logo
6000L
064-429

On the inside of the strap it says Gucci

And on the inside of the buckle it says

R (in a circle)
Gucci 10 m/m (I think)

Thank you so much for your help. I really appreciate it.
