In any case, it is of value , above this value to maximize . And for this we must go to a diamond - can be a quartz - is another matter. But I also think - crystals (which is not bad ) and gemologist is likely to be mastered determination of metal, or will point to the determining .
When this basic information will be ready , it becomes clear what to do on giving things merchantability .
Go to a jeweler to determine , do not go a waste of time , confidence is still not. Maybe then he 'll need to polish and fixing good.

Cuckoo, as an example of jeweler's Art Society can offer in the GIM, maybe they will buy you.

In any case, try.

Cuckoo, metal - most likely , white gold or platinum. I have rings that are left from my grandmother , like the rim of your item . Diamonds are often set into white gold rings on my sample , by the way , also.
Cut the old stones were not the same as now, a special game of stone was not observed. Try to wash the stone -soap and a toothbrush . Hard to believe that ordinary glass dressed in such a complex and expensive frame.

By the way, they are also likely , and the material , and time will orient . In the State Historical Museum did - very good people who know . And it is not arrogant and interested .
If this works out - do not think for work, then tell us about the results , okay?

I would also add that the old diamonds of great value not present, except that they are clean water and the size of a pigeon's egg.

The value is an old frame, and your necklace is not comic.

world, diamonds in platinum began to recover only recently, as I understand it . Previously, all platinum was not in vogue , as looks very unpresentable in pure form.
And what does a sample of silver ? Silver had nothing worth of silver - ware made ​​, and still inexpensive compared to the work.

Seriy, do not even know what to answer you . I'm , like, a sample of silver did not write .


Rings , approximately one hundred years . First - platinum. Second - white gold and yellow gold, according to the jeweler who cleaned them . (Electricity of much gilding, now we have the night. )

world and you decide to dream?

Is not forbidden!

Thank you all for what was sent back on track.
Take advantage of your advice.

It is strange to see such an active discussion of simple ones, in my view, objects.
This Bolin?
Yeah, like, no.

To me, jewelry jewelry Krasnoselskii fishing.

Cyril Syzran, which is as you say.

But it was necessary so that the hostess herself believe it.

Still I believe all)))

now found another part of this necklace.
it was the earrings, the center was something suspended, there remains a ring.
with huge losses.
and even some sort of Circuits and necklace racks, they are branded "Hm" and 84, I think the silver, and all was covered with gold.
not only all the unblanched and mytoe.

Here , in Russia all izdliya of precious metals were to be branded .
Product or part thereof , which is to test - it's silver ware, if the sample is not necessary , then soderzhdanie silver in the alloy is low and the sample does not hold up , or silver at all.
 Diamonds are also put into the water , scratch and m - not worth it. In a GIM jewelry, too, do not take the quality of stones is best to determine a Gemology .

Platinum was most in vogue , and the rim of diamonds , it is preferable to silver, but much more difficult to process, so the platinum is used for expensive luxury items.
