[QUOTE="tie.dye.cat, post: 6687063, member: 152"]I pretty much have given up on going to our Goodwill and Salvation Army. Goodwill's prices are high here, and they never have any jewelry. The Salvation Army near here also never has any decent jewelry - I believe they have a store on ebay, so most of it likely gets filtered through that store before any lands in the showcase. I decided to make a quick stop at both places the other day, and I'm glad I did. First, this 10k pin from goodwill. It's an organization pin which is why I think it probably slipped through their watch; they may not know that sometimes they're gold. [ATTACH=full]420368[/ATTACH] Then I went onto Goodwill. For once they had quite a bit of jewelry. All cheap costume as usual, but somehow these slipped by them. There's also a Theda silver cross with silver chain that I don't have a picture for. Gold-filled cross with sunstone. No markings. [ATTACH=full]420369[/ATTACH] 12K Gold Chain with 12K Cross - the chain weighs out at over 10 grams, and I haven't weighed the cross yet. Turns out what I thought was a worn spot (I posted about the other day) was just tarnish or a shadow. Both acid tested a couple of times cause I'm paranoid about gold testing; I don't want to make a mistake. I tried to get the chain sparkly, but my efforts fell way short. I'm happy though. No markings that I've been able to find on either the cross or the chain. If anyone knows the name for that type of chain, please let me know. I know I found it in the past, but I'm not finding it now. It's kind of like a double rolo chain. [ATTACH=full]420370[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
