Best Answer

you should first weigh the piece of jewelery to see i it is heavy. if it is not heavy, then it is probably pure and is expensive. some jewelery is heavy and therefore must be compared with the weight of the actual object is was made from.

Another Answer

'Expensive' is relative.

Metal in jewelery can be expensive, especially if a high-karat purity gold is used, or if the metal is platinum. Real, natural gemstones are also more expensive than imitations, even irradiated 'gemstones'. Craftsmanship can be an other indicator, especially where hand-tooling or hand-fabrication are employed.

Where can I sell vintage jewelry for the best price?

If you are concerned about selling for the best price, a good idea would be to get your jewelry appraised at a local jeweler. It can be costly (costing around $45 per piece), but jewelers typically have the experience to know best. They might even offer to buy your jewelry, but you could also sell it online for a little more than what it was appraised for.

How do you clean da vinci jewelry?

The Da Vinci Jewelry I know of is considered fine jewelry and since fine jewelry needs special care I will explain how to clean fine jewelry which will be good for all types of jewelry. A solution of half Mr. Clean and water with a small amount of ammonia can be used to clean all types of fine jewelry. Soak the jewelry piece for 15 seconds then rinse in cold water and dry. This solution is used by many jewelry stores I know of and they use it for all types of jewelry including inexpensive jewelry, fine jewelry, and even opals, and emeralds. A bowl can be used, but an ultrasonic is better. Repeat if the piece is extra dirty.

How do you clean 950 platinum jewelry?

950 platinum is 95% pure platinum which is the standard for platinum jewelry. 950 platinum can be cleaned like any other piece of fine jewelry. A jewelry solution could be purchased, but I can tell you what many jewelry stores use in their ultrasonics. I know of many jewelers that mix half Mr. Clean and water with a small amount of ammonia for their jewelry cleaning solution in their ultrasonic. This works excellent for all types of jewelry. Allow the piece to soak for 15 seconds then rinse in water and dry. A polishing cloth can be used if the piece needs to have the high polish shine brought back.
