<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mirana, post: 7739822, member: 79705&quot;]Found a lot listed as costume jewelry for $14.50 that included this piece I suspected was overlooked.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]424049[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>No marks, but the shank has two obvious lines on either side where it was resized and more metal added, so might explain that. I thought it might be silver but in person it was obvious they&#039;d upped the contrast on the selling image and the tarnish was very light. I cleaned and polished it up and it really looked like gold to me.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]424050[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]424051[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Tested it yesterday and it&#039;s 14k gold. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie99" alt=":woot:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> The hardstone has lost some of the carving in the neck area so I&#039;m not sure if he/she was originally wearing a collar. No idea who this may be, if anyone. I haven&#039;t seen this carving image yet elsewhere. I also haven&#039;t found this same ring shoulder style, and they tend to be purely decorative, so the vaguely caduceus etching is probably nothing I&#039;m guessing. Any insights? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie79" alt=":shame:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie25" alt=":bookworm:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
