Old gold bangles

[r85]

These are probably over 60 to 70 years old. I have never got them valued.  I do not know where to start. I'm not sure what the purity of gold is in it but more than likely 22ct . I don't know if the gems are real. My mum had showed them to her friend and she was offering £5000 for the two but didn't want to sell at the time. And now wondering if I should have taken up the offer.

Do they have hallmarks?
If they do take photos.
What do they weigh?
£5000 for the pair? - well depends on the weight but i might well be snapping someone's hand off.
The auction price a seller gets for gold jewellery is generally under spot price. There are stones in this - i don't know anything about stones, there are a few people here who know more about jewellery. Weigh the pieces accurately first - if you are selling them for this sort of money then get a electronic weighing scale, they are only a few quid and then you will know exactly how much these weigh. Hallmarks will tell us the carat of the gold.

Thank you for the advise. Im happy to pay to get them valued I might go to the jewellers tomorrow. Don't think they're worth £5000 as I don't see a hallmark on them.

Maybe garnet?  Weren't they popular at one time?

A Jeweller may be able get them valued for you. Fees vary so please shop around.

Get an insurance value and a retail value. Be prepared for offers based on the retail value. The jewellers will offer you less as they will want to make a profit. 

Forum members just want a good price.

I think we’d all be interested in this item if it was sent to a trusted forum member to hold for your first sale.

Garnets or possibly pink rubies tbh there are a fair few stones that colour and depending on what was in fashion when the piece was made. As for hallmarks. Take a look along any of the larger pieces of solid metal, around the hinge would be a good place to start.

Don't forget not all countries hallmark, to me the charm looks a later add-on and possibly lower CT. 

If you can't find hallmarks the only thing to do is test the CT which is easy enough

I got them valued but need to get a proper valuation with certificates. They aren't worth £5000.. and the stones aren't likely real. But it's 71g of gold , 20ct not 22 as I had thought. So I think just above £3000

I would get another valuation depending on how good a jeweler's you used in first place.

Did they find a hallmark at all?

Personally I would be surprised if gemstones are paste as very cheap that size but I'm no expert.

Also what spotprice you gauging the value on?

Looks like your mom should go ahead and sell it to the friend for 5k pounds!

Take them to an auction and ask the auctioneer what they will acheive, if they are any good he/she will want them in their auction.  For what its worth, imo 1920's jewellery can be worth good money, if your bangles are made by a good maker then again ap premium will be obtained.  Most gold will only be worth scrap + a % the buyer wants to pay.

Curious if there may be some recommendations from @DarkChameleon with his experience in liquidating PM jewelry?

£5000 I would have sold them for sure.

BTW you don't put fake gems in a real gold bracelet.
