What's My Old Pin Brooch Worth? I have a old pin(brooch). I don't know exactly how old.

I was wondering if the thing was worth a significant amount of money.

Illustrated Guide to Jewelry Appraising, 3rd Edition: Antique, Period, and Modern

Price: $25.78 USD

For all I know it may not be worth $2.00. Then again it may be worth $200. And Lord knows if it was worth a whole lot, I would be estatic.

How can I have it looked at by someone who can tell me?

There's no one locally around me and I have no way to commute a long distance to have it looked at.

Like I said, it may not be worth nothing, but since I am trying to relocate with my two kids and I desperately need money, I thought I would check into it since I've been wanting to know this anyway.

Any help you could offer would be appreciated.

Thank you. Melissa

If Gold goes up, the Jewelry value increases, right?

No - Not always. It depends...
