    I do not know if it is allowed to give an approximate cost if not I am sorry. I am really overwhelmed with all of this Vintage Costume Jewelry in my possession jan720182.JPG jan720181.JPG jan720182.JPG jan720181.JPG jan720182.JPG jan720182.JPG jan720181.JPG jan720181.JPG , trying to find what symbols mean, this one is a 925 which I believe is Sterling Silver I hope but it has a design on it as well, any help would be appreciated!!!

    You're right, 925 is sterling silver. Are the beads black or blue? If they are black, they are probably onyx.
    I edited one of the photos a bit, hopefully the mark is a bit clearer:

    Thank you for the edit the stones are black, I think onyx. So how does one go about trying to get a price to sell it?

    Depends where and how you wish to sell it....
    start looking for comparable items, sold on eBay or Etsy....
    But 1st, it's best to know what it is you have !

    That looks like the logo for Silpada next to the 925 stamp.

    Ladydidi, don't mean to be rude, but if you are going to sell through Etsy or another site, you will have to start practicing your photo skills.
    Pictures don't have to be perfect, but it has to be clear to a potential buyer what you are offering for sale. That means more focus, more accurate colours. If they can't see what your necklace actually looks like, they will probably move on and buy a similar one listed with good pictures.

    I was not going to sell on Etsy, or even Ebay, I am bot sure where I am going to sell it but you are right, and as I stated my battery for my camera is not working and I am waiting for a new one, then I can practice taking pics, but thank you, you are not being rude at all I stated from the beginning I am a newbie so all advice is welcome I also did more research on the Silpada necklace and found more in the 40 to 50 dollar range as well.

    Just an FYI anything I post on here I intend to sell so if you have an Etsy Account or an Ebay account and it is something you would want to buy let me know, but not until I take better pictures.lol
