    Got these 2 items today along with a whole slew of others but I'm really curious about these two. First I'm curious what type of chain this slider necklace is it tests + 10k rose gold also would it be safe to say "Victorian" ? and the second question is does anyone recognize the mark on the stick pin 14 and what looks like to me is a C around a K...

    The first one appears to be styled on a Victorian lady's fob watch chain, a picture of the whole thing would help, and the second item looks retro styled rather than really old as well.

    For the first one, do a search for Victorian Long Chain with slide.
    I say "Victorian" although these were worn for a while after that era.
    It was used as a watch chain or, in later years, perhaps for a lorgnette.

    The stick pin, I think, is just marked 14K. I don't recognize that as any makers mark.
    Your photo isn't clear enough to see what the center stone may be.

    Af, the stick pin is looks fine for an Edwardian era pin. The newer ones have a rather icky way of attaching the pin stem to the top.

    Im thinking the stone it's just quartz with a purple foil backing when you look at it sideways it's clear and straight on its purple but the backing appears to have separated some I'm trying to capture what I'm seeing here but they just aren't coming out true to form

    If that's 10k it looks like a NICE payday.(LOL) I still don't know if it's really old or really retro, but given that length I'd be betting on Edwardian.

    New Mexico is the place for it, the economy dictates the great buys. Plus I'm a huge jewelry hunter and absolutely love getting the big bags of unsearched which are really common around here too! Average 5 gal freezer bags packed full go for around 8 bucks!!

    Some European gold is marked 14 CT (instead of kt) and I wonder if they were covering both bases by using the C and the K? Just a humble guess...

    Wow wish I could get bags of jewelry that big here. Here I get them about half that size of bag for about the same price. They are fun to go thru. And you never know what all you will find.
