[QUOTE="KSW, post: 4451856, member: 8708"]I’d love some help please to unscramble this pendant. It would appear to be made up of a collection of parts. The main pendant is large at approximately 4.5cm long. There is no hallmark, tests very strong at 9ct gold but fades out at 14ct. It would appear to have been a brooch with the pin broken off maybe with the hallmark? Two dangles also with no hallmarks. The chain doesn’t hang correctly off the pendant and the two bails aren’t contemporary. One bail is stamped something that looks like 800 but isn’t. B?? It’s not silver or gold so not part of the original set up. The gold tone chain looks pretty elderly and has a registered design no on it but not easy to read. Any ideas please about this turquoise with the rough back? I’m clueless as to what makes one piece of turquoise better than another and why. Thanks for any help :-) [ATTACH=full]383222[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]383223[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]383224[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]383225[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]383226[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]383227[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]383228[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]383229[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]383230[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]383231[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
