I have my monther’s engagement and wedding rings which were given to me after she passed away. I didn’t believe they were worth a lot because the are silver and not gold. My parents got married in 1950, which means the rings had to have been purchased in 1949. A co-worker of mine told me that there was a different kind of substance used to make jewelry because precious metals were depleted after the end of WW I. Is that true? If my mother’s rings were made out of the that material, could that mean her rings could be worth more that I think?

Hi, I have a gold ring with what I believe are emeralds and opals on it, inside the band reads 18K HG and a S with a circle around it. I assume it means 18 karat but I don’t understand the HG and the S with the circle around it. Any idea what this means? Thanks!

Hi! I have a 10k gold ring that my father gave me when I was younger, and I was just wondering if you could give me any insight as to what the symbols on the inside of the band mean. There are two diamond shaped marks that sit right next to each other. One has the symbol |M| on the inside and seems to be etched in. The other has three dots, one in the upper corner and one each on the left and right. This symbol is punched in. Any ideas?

I was just given an old necklace that belonged to my grandmother. It is a string of artificial pearls with a silver pendant worked into the string. Inside the box lid, it has a gold crown with the words Navarre Indestructible Pearls. Can you tell me anything about the company and the approximate age of the necklace? Thanks.
