Sometimes the stamps do wear off with frequent wear- I have a couple of rings that are like that, the metal marks are so worn they are just barely visible
Yep yep u also have to have the eye for it Usually tho it shouuuullllddd be stamped but not all the time Of it was a custom piece and they didn't have a stamp Or The stamp was broken that day 😂 😆
@Gemstonecoin if you don't have the eye...get a better loop,a better light ,or younger or better eyes and don't forget to move it around in all angles possible because there's alway a partial mark out if the entire stamp, and research if u can,family etc?!
I have a personal guideline to always comment positive things on someone’s video. In this case, I can’t stop myself because it bothers me that people might be watching your video and believing what you are saying. It’s very clear to me that you know very little about jewelry because almost all of the information you are giving out is false.
The magnet test is NOT 100% reliable. But I use one in thrift stores in combination with a strong powered jewelery loupe. I've had magnetic 14 karat gold...and it apparently depends on what metals are mixed in the gold. Acid testing does damage to the item and isn't accurate or reliable...as the acid itself breaks down in a week or two. I take all my items to a xray machine...?xrf I think it's called...to get the exact metal percentages. I have my own scale but wish I had other tools like gem testers. This hobby has much better odds than gambling!
I doubt the horseshoe is solid gold but I could put 10k acid then 14k to see Also usually gold filled is magnetic 🧲 so if the pin isn't magnetic then I might think it could be 🤔 12k possibly
@Gemstonecoin no it's not! An example of that is?...other metal alloys can also boost a magnet to go either way as well. Many times we've seen goldfilled not magnetic and why?. How about gold plated,electro plated or heavy electro plated?
@@ReneeHamilton-gr2my Again Rene ,you’re not very smart ,you haven’t learned anything Shikoku or Seiko or any other quartz watch ,the battery inside them makes them keep perfect time
I have found many pieces not marked but 925 or gold. Don’t discredit unmarked jewelry. Off you’re into vintage, they used hang tags in many instances to Id a piece which could easily come separated from the piece.
@Gemstonecoin yes with incorrect information,or giving the wrong so called information or the knowledge to base your own decisions on inaccurate information!
If you have ever taken a silver-smithing class, the first thing you do is solder a twisted wire bracelet. You may not have access to the 925 chop yet...
I'm not really gonna flinch at a silver twisted wire bracelet plus that's a rare occurrence plus a twisted wire bracelet is prob only 3-5-7 grams and if unrecognized is not much of an unrealized loss!

That first ring you took out is an Irish 'Claddagh' ring.
I looked that up and you are right thanks for sharing that!
@@Gemstonecoin You're most welcome.
@@Gemstonecoin you should have known that without looking it up if you know jewelry
@user-ke8st8jc1v in theory I know what I know and you know what you know 😂 😆 😂
Seiko are not a cheap watch. They are notorious for keeping perfect time. You can replace the battery and you’ll have a great watch
@@ReneeHamilton-gr2my It’s not the watch that keeps perfect time ,it’s the battery

Golf filled is scrapping above sterling now. Check your pearls, some costume has incredible value.
These jars of garbage became so popular
Hey boi, my first time watching you😊

12k gold is 12k gold . 12k gold filled will be marked 12k GF.

Reminder that sizing a ring down the jeweller may have to cut out the kt stamp. Lol its pronounced as Sayco
The one marked mexico is probably alpaca, nickel silver
12 karat gold is usually from Europe and on older jewellry.
Aluminum bends easily too
Some expensive costume jewelry
Some older jewelry may be unmarked
If it says Mexico
IS REAL SILVER
Mexico makes beautiful silver jewelry.
Yes Mexico does but still gotta make sure it's not magnetic and looks like silver and is stamped those are the 3 methods I use
No 925 you must test.
I have found many pieces not marked but 925 or gold. Don’t discredit unmarked jewelry. Off you’re into vintage, they used hang tags in many instances to Id a piece which could easily come separated from the piece.
They mark like 99.7 of pieces
Jewelers spend alot of time making a piece so that mark it because they want everyone to know that they made that piece
The jewelry jar game!
Gold filled,plated,electro plated,1 20th gp, or 10 k gp 14gp etc. He's not one to be giving advice! Bext!
It's not about giving advice, it's about giving you the knowledge to make your own informed decisions!
@Gemstonecoin yes with incorrect information,or giving the wrong so called information or the knowledge to base your own decisions on inaccurate information!
Camera angle is bad, hard to see the jewelry. Thank you for your video
The repetitive comments about 925 is too much!
Whoops
Don't discredit glass beads,fiori,swarovski etc! He has a sterling antique necklace there he discredited,I have that one ! Not the gest advice!
It's just a fun video, not saying it's the best way to find treasure lol
