[QUOTE="Mansons2005, post: 194367, member: 121"]I recently found these four SMALL pendants (the largest cross is 1-1/4" long). All four have the same stones, and all four are marked "900" on the jump ring, not the back of the setting. These look like garnets, and while my mother collected garnet jewelry, it was to wear - and she would rather have GONE to the cross than WEAR a cross - and she had little liking for that sort of Faith Hope and Charity symbolism. So I assume that they were not hers, and that leads me to believe that they may NOT be actual garnets. Do any of you jewellery people think that it would be worth my while and my dollars to have these looked at by a professional? Would the sale value exceed the cost of appraisal? Thank you for any direction!
