<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bookahtoo, post: 178352, member: 31&quot;]I bought this brooch the other day with a bunch of costume jewelry. I thought it was the nicest of the bunch. When I examined it later, I found a 14K mark. I do not see a maker&#039;s mark. I&#039;m hoping the beads are coral.</p><p><br /></p><p>A sometime customer came into the store a couple hours after I got this. I asked him to look at it because I thought he knew something about gold. He said it was thinly plated with gold because it wasn&#039;t heavy enough for real gold. I asked about the 14K mark and he said plated stuff was marked 14K also. He then said something about the plastic beads and I said I think they&#039;re coral. He just raised his eyebrows at me.</p><p><br /></p><p>I know the beads aren&#039;t plastic because I did the tooth tap test and they feel like glass, or something else not plastic.</p><p><br /></p><p>What do you all think?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]49652[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]49653[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]49654[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
