Velma: A 10kt rolled gold Bulova isn’t anything that you’ll want to list on Ebay. Rolled gold is a thin sheet of gold mechanically or electrically applied to a base metal. It is a very, very thin sheet of gold. Know that gold is so malleable that 1oz of pure gold can be made into a sheet larger than a football field. It would need to be “solid” 10kt gold in order for you to get money for the watch. As a general rule, no one wants these types of watches because no one can read them to tell time. I am sorry this isn’t the best news for you. If it were gold, then you could sell it for a scrap piece. As the watch stands, it’s just considered a piece of costume jewelry. Thanks so much for your question.

Tammy: What fabulous questions. Yes there is a hallmark of “solid gold”. As a general rule, items that bear this hallmark are wedding bands. This term is attesting to the fact that the item is gold….NOT to the karat. I have seen items with that hallmark range from 18kt to 9kt. As far as the value, it’s a who knows. It depends on a lot of factors. But it will be more than plated or filled. Thanks so much for your questions. Jessica

Thank you for explaining the difference in the above options however, is there such a thing as “solid gold” and would the value of the piece be higher is it’s not plated or filled?
Thank you.

Hello A: Sorry it’s taken me a while to get back with you. There’s no really easy answer to that. The Bisbee mine has been closed for a long time. I would try a couple of local lapidaries in your area. Lapidaries are more familiar with rough stones. Now as to the value, they may or may not know. There is so much to look at when assessing the make and value of the Turquoise. If you are in Arizona or new Mexico, you will have locals that like the Turquoise and will give you a higher value. As a general rule I find that people outside of the South West don’t hold Turquoise in favor……not my view point. But worth is a subjective value. Worth as in extinct mine, worth in untreated, worth as what someone will buy or esteem it. It’s a shotgun kind of question and I can only give you a shotgun kind of answer. It’s not as helpful as I would like it to be. Thank you for your question. All the best…..Jessica

Stuart: Firstly, it’s going to date to after the 1800′s. Hallmarking “best rolled gold” or hallmarking karats started at the 1900′s in the jewelry industry. Value, that’s a shotgun approach. Here’s a shotgun answer. Value as in what it would sell for? Value as in what you would have to replace it for? Value as in gold value? Value as in sentimental? Which one? My best thought as far as replacement or what’s out on the market is Ebay. BUT follow a couple of similar styled chains to the end of the auction and that gives you an “estimate” of what this type of item is selling for. Don’t look at auctions that say “Buy it now”. These are dealers and this won’t give you the best idea as to what you have. Also go to antique dealers in your area and look a similar things. Ask the pricing. This gives you the best idea of what the watch chain is trading for. Thanks for your question. I hope this helps you. Best of luck, Jessica

Hi jessica.
Can you give me some advice please? I have a double albert chain which on the bar says that it is ‘best rolled gold’, but the hall mark on other areas of the flat curb chain says SP..? I know of its authenticity, as it was worn with a pocket watch by a great uncle in the late 1800′s to the early 1900′s.
I know that you hav’nt seen it, but I’m confused as to whether it has any value, could you advise me please.
Thank you

Stuart

Comment on What About Jewelry For You Hair????? by журналы вакансии

Real gold, platinum and real stones flip out people because it’s so unexpected. It just makes your hair look fabulous! I’ve had some real ooooo’s and ahhhh’s from a platinum and diamond Art Deco bar pin in my hair. Here, again, the French twist is great for a bar pin. It’s been fun to say “Out of my jewelry box. If you’re worried about it coming off, just add a couple of bobby pins on the pin stem and make sure to point the pin clasp end downward. It’s really a sparkler in dark auburn hair and I’ve ALWAYS been asked where I got it.Pin it in your hair.?
