<p>[QUOTE="J Dagger, post: 1753060, member: 10944"]Not to highjack this thread but a lady I’m buying some stuff from has a nice mourning brooch with hair (no pearls) in it, name and date on back. The date is in the 1860s. It’s not marked as far as I know. She says she had it acid tested and that it turned out to be 18k. How likely is it a piece like this from that era, made with gold, would be unmarked? That surprised me but maybe it shouldn’t have?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
