cuniagau Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 I dug this on the beach yesterday with the Impulse AQ and it rang up loud and proud. At first I thought that it had to be just costume jewelry because who would wear something like that to the beach? It weighs 7.9g and while it has no hallmarks, it tested 14K, both electronically and by acid test. Each "stem" has 6 diamonds and it has 15 stems for a total of 90 diamonds. (and yes, they are real) So I guess that I have a bouquet of diamonds. LOL Each "stem" is like a post on an earring and is a live mount as it fits into a mounting hole and is "flared" to keep it from coming out of the mounting hole, and freely spins. It has one free hole that may have had a bail attached. Or it could have had just another "stem" of diamonds and attached to something else. I am just sorta lost on what it is-pendant, broach, pin,?,?,? Air test on the Equinox had it ringing up at 3-5. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Joe 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chase Goldman Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 Looks like a ginormous earring with some sort of weight distributing stem mount. Bet they cried when they lost that one. Whoa! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F350Platinum Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 Nice! No hallmarks? At first glance it looks like a silver pendant with CZs, but the ID indicates otherwise. I hope it's much better than that. ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schoolofhardNox Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 Maybe a very expensive hat pin? All you would be missing is a long straight pin that mounts to that tiny hole with the square base. Probably not what it is but that is what it reminded me of. I've found a bunch from right around the early 1900's at picnic sites. Great find whatever it turns out to be. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valens Legacy Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 The type of flower that it is to look like is a common bridesmaids earring style. What you are showing is a high end type and hard to find. as it was probably made for the wedding. Some of that type start at around $2,800 and goes up very quickly. Good luck on finding out who made it. Great find even without the piece that goes through the ear. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

opalboy Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 Probably a pin, but weird to find on a beach! Good one! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick N. MI Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 It is very beautiful. Is that a loop at the top of it? It could be a pendant or a part of something bigger. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the size of the connecting point, it may be a part of something larger? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
