I have been a jeweller for more than 50 years and enjoy working on antique pieces

Any thoughts? On a sapphire pendant with a rose diamond top

 

Welcome Alf. Always good to have a jeweller on board.
It is a 1931-(1963?) Polish mark for .583 gold, so just under 14k/14ct.
Could we see the pendant? Not only are we a curious lot, but the style will help narrow the period down.

 

Good morning Alf and WELCOME to ANTIQUERS!!

 

Greetings, Alf!

 

welcome aboard

 

Yes, please can we see the whole piece? That’s just teasing to only show the hallmark!

 

greetings

 

Welcome

 

The OP had a tough time with uploading photos from the looks of things.

 

Welcome: someone will probably be along with advice on posting photos.
General advice is to resize them, or email to yourself and select medium size.

 

Welcome Alf!

 

Alf has fallen into a swarming nest of joolies. (swarm, swarm)

 

Sorry, I got a little preoccupied @Alf Grant ! Here's a bit of help getting oversized images posted on the site, hope it helps....if not....keep asking...we're here to help!!!

For Future reference, when posting images:

there are instructions on site here on how to reduce the size of your image, if that is the problem......you are allowed up to 8 images per post!!! Here are some links to the instructions:

Try emailing them to yourself as "medium" size, they should then be under 1 MB!

Am getting stone tested by the gemologist at the moment but he is 90% sure sapphire is real and not synthetic!

 

Thanks for the photo Alf!
When you attach photos, click on the box that says ‘full image’ then we get to see it full size rather than as a thumbnail.
Exciting that it could be a natural sapphire, please will you let us know when you find out?

 

It is gorgeous Alf. Let's hope the sapphire is natural. It has wonderful clarity.
Although the style has become classic, I think it is towards the earlier end of the period of the mark.

 

Sweet and Gorgeous!!! GOOD LUCK on results!!!! This was the better image Alf posted.....I'd wear it in a heartbeat!!!!!!!!!!!!! Although maybe the upper one shows the clarity better!!! Doesn't matter!!!!
