- 💥💥💥 I also tried seeing if a very strong magnet would stick to it and the bale and it did not. I have no clue what I have here. I did deep scratches on the jewelry testing stone.

Hi Deanna, nice to see you again. Have no info for you, except it an antique commemorative piece, worth something in itself. If indeed a good gold content, Whoopie!!! Good luck on this.
Hi!!! I missed you so much. How are you doing? I hope all is well. I think it is a 1920 Canonization medal. I hope it is gold. If not, I like it anyway.
Cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My advice to you is to take the piece to a jeweler you trust. He can tell you for sure. It is a beautiful find!❤
Thanks. I don't really leave the house, so I may never know. Hopefully one day I can get to a jeweler.
Some of those ancient French pendants of Jeanne d'Arc go for a lot of money.
Do you think they would take the time to put hallmarks on that tiny ring if it wasn't a precious metal? I tried to get a good picture, but it's almost impossible. I stopped by Kay's jewelry store to have a wedding band from 1925. The guy was really nice, he told me it is 22k gold. I did pay $120.00 for it from a thrift store, it weighs 4.8 grams, I was very happy. Maybe you could find a jewelry store that would help you. I hope it turns out to be gold, I think there is a good chance. I went into the same thrift store where I got this 22k gold ring, they are asking $145.00 for a gold filled ring lmao..I told her she will never get that for GF. They think they are Saks Fifth Avenue 😂 I can buy new clothes on the sale rack at Belk cheaper than most thrift stores.
Yeah, the hallmarks are confusing me. If it were a piece of brass or gold coated jewelry, why would they hallmark it like that? I haven't been to a thrift store in years. I heard they all are raising the prices and have people that over price things now because too many eBayers go there to find things for cheap and flip them for more money online. It is hard to score real gold for cheap nowadays.
@FuturesPast1 I have figured out Egyptian jewelry hallmarks in the past, I've never found anything French to research. I invested in a microscope, mostly to look at coins but it works really well on jewelry also. I don't know what changed in my brain, maybe it is the overpriced things they are selling but I haven't wanted to thrift or go to yard sales. I've also almost broken free from Whatnot also, I still watch 3 people on occasion but I haven't bought anything...I guarantee my husband is happy lmao
@@sherri2594 The stamps on this piece are worst than Egyptian Hieroglyphics, lol I do know for certain it is French. I scoured multiple French Hallmark sites, but the marks are way too skewed to make out. I have a 50x loupe with a light and it is still too hard to make out. Maybe I need a microscope, lol. I am not going to go on WhatNot. My eBay addiction is too bad as it is. I was given the ultimatum. My husband said "No eBay for a month" and now I need to get his permission before each purchase which he will probably say "No" to all. 😞
My problem is seeing something I know is worth more money than they are selling it for, but I'm not a reseller. Luckily, my husband never put me in a time out. The hunt for treasures is an addiction, I know, because I was addicted to hunting gold. My new addiction is TikTok..it's the information highway lmao. Your friend is such a free spirit, she looks like the life of a party. 💞
