Question
Mar01 001
hello, my grandmother gave me this gold bangle bracelet, my whole life she had it and im 26 and she is 90. it has a loin head with 2 which looks to be rubys in the eyes and which looks to be a diamond in the mouth with a design on the sides of the loin head. i dont know if its real gold. the loins head looks to be changing but the bangle itself is still gold. its not stamped gold but it's stamped FM CO. can you please tell me about this bracelet. Thank you, rachael
AnswerHi Rachael, Great bracelet! I love these type of things. It looks to be gold from the picture and the stones genuine too but your best bet if there are no karat gold markings is to bring it to a good jeweler to have them appraise it verbally first and do a nitric acit test on the piece to see if it is gold. Do not let them file into the item which will harm its value. If gold then have a dicumented appraisal for insurance purposes done for your protection. Good luck.
