Message:: [QUOTE="Silverking53, post: 6425471, member: 79631"]Hello everyone. So about 4 years ago I stopped at a yard sale. This lady had a table full of individually bagged jewelry. Quick look I seen the prices at   0.50$-2.00$ each. I know enough to tell there was some nice stuff in there. I quickly offered to buy the whole table. I paid 125$ for the entire lot. About 80 pieces in all. I found this piece in the lot. Long for gotten I had put it into a storage box. I happened across it about a month ago. It again sparked my interest. So I did lots of research trying to learn the hallmarks. Definitely Egyptian hallmarks unsure the year or maker. I took it to a few places to have it tested. It was acid tested , filled and acid tested again. And tested electronically, all three places said it was 18kt. The first place I had it looked at was a local pawn shop where I go regularly to have my pieces tested. They offered me 600$ for it immediately. I said no thanks just wanted to make sure it was real gold. So they offered me 800$ then 1,000$ I still refused. One thing I have learned is if they offer you anything it definitely worth something. So after confirmation of it being real gold my next thought is how old is it. And where did it come from. From what I have learned I’m thinking it my 1950’s eta . Well I know it is 18kt gold with fine lapis lazuli stone. Each individual segment is carved from a solid piece of lapis lazuli not pieced together. Each individual segment of the necklace is hallmarked even both sides of the clasp. Any help identifying the year or maker would be greatly appreciated.
