>>23224405Here's another item. A common kind of costume grade jewelry. It is made of .925 silver and some 10k gold. Note where the
item.is dirty, and worn.
Could it be fake? Sure. But the totality of details, while inconclusive individually, can be enough evidence to juwtify the risk of some money.
The previous item, the rose gold 10k earring weighed 0.6 grams, and so is worth ~$25. A dealer today might pay as much as $20 if you brought it to him. I'd pay about that much. So having an idea lets you make your judgement.
Is it worth buying for $18? Meh. $10? Sure. You have to have a general idea, at a glance, or what you are doing, to make your picking excursions profitable, and in that way to secure the existence of the white race and a future for white children.
As for the heart pendant. Notice the rounded globules in the settings? These are polished to resemble diamonds, and there are 4 diamond chips set in the center, at 3o'clock, 6o'clock, and 9o'clock. These are difficult to see in the picture, but they are worth about the same as gold.
The wear present on the surface finish, and the presence of dirt, body oil, skin flakes, and other grime indicates that this was worn by, probably, a mexican or black woman without ever cleaning it, but also indicates that it is NOT plated, because skin oil is corrosive, qnd would eat through gold or silver plating.
Wear to plating can be detected visually by breakage, usually on the hard corners of objects, and at raised wear points, like the tops of setting prongs.
The details on this item indicate that it is real silver.
Now lets examine the back of the item.
