    Hello and welcome to the board.
    You should still be able to go back and choose Full Image. That will allow your pictures to be seen by people using phones.

    Welcome to, Cathy! :)
    Looks like 10k in the lower left. Is there a clasp on this?
    Maybe it says AJ?

    Welcome to the forum, Cathy.
    Does the 10k mark have anything after it?
    I can't remember ever making this.:confused: Could be brain fog.:hilarious:

    I don't think there has been any modifications.

    I was told by a vintage jewelry expert that the mark is AV. It has a style mark, an applied logo, a copyright mark, and a 10k mark. American piece from the 60's.

    In the photo the "diamond" setting don't appear to be original but added at a later date.There is excess solder around them and the solder color looks white like silver and not gold.

    The diamonds were tested and are real. Maybe this is a better photo of the center? IMG_20190122_103358.jpg

    The photos are fine,the white gold settings for the stones were applied at a later date by someone who wasn't very good soldering as you can see by the excess "white" around the mountings.

    Diamonds are often set in white gold (or silver, platinum) to emphasize the colour of the diamonds. It is a pretty necklace.
    I agree with Holly, there is something about the body of the butterfly. It looks like it could have been re-soldered.
