Anyone know jewellery?


Recommended Posts

I bought a bag of oddments at a boot fair because it contained a 1970s Timex (still ticking), a Montine and and "Exactly".  Amongst the rest of the chaff was this pictured ring.

I like it and it fits (barely) my left pinkie.  But before I wear anything I want to know what it is.

Now, I know it's gold or gold-plate as my father has tested it.  But it is not marked in any way except for the "Gc" on the Onyx(?).

No, it's not bent, the rear 3/5 is chain-link.

Any help would be appreciated!

Not gold unfortunately. The Color is that of 22K and Guess has never manufactured anything in high karat gold, or even low karat to my knowledge. People go to the other "G" brand for that.....Gucci. Additionally, if it were gold it would definitely be hallmarked as its a modern piece not manufactured privately. Im not sure how your father tested it, but if he used the acid test, for a true reading you will have to cut into the ring with the side of a small file to expose the core alloy and place the acid directly on the cut. 

Regardless its a good looking piece so enjoy it, but alas it can't be resized unfortunately.

    • Here is another option, if you have the patience to sort through the parts you usually find 50-100 screws as well as some other cool stuff. Most times I get an order from these guys I get a 250g box, takes a few days, but end up with hundreds of spares and all you need is for one of them to be useful and it pays for itself. Also helps hone your tweezer skills!
    • As Hector said they have too much  tension, that tension is also fixed and not easy to control. Conventional tweezers have infinitely variable grip provided by us. 
    • Thank you and i appreciate that, it looks very different    Thank you sir but i think there is a little problem according to that reading it's because it is far different to the other move that i serviced, i will atouched the photo. They are different movements but this one is 7s26b movement and they are also different in shape when it comes to the ballance assmebly. Thanks also for the concerned i appreciate that. 
    • Donor movement showed up, so I stole the bridge screw from it. Which made me sad, because it's in such nice shape! It seems a shame. Maybe I'll find a use for it one of these days. Unfortunately, the stem is for a different style of case and is much too short. Fortunately, I ordered a brand new stem from McCaw Company. Unfortunately, the crown on the donor movement is thoroughly stripped out (it unscrewed in a shower of brass) so i just put the old stem back in for now until I source a new crown. As you can see, it's just a little too long for this case. Overall I'm super pleased. I didn't think I'd like the bracelet, and even that is growing on me.   Anyone have a favorite crown assortment?
    • A couple of pictures of the front… Sorry, I’m months away from this one, but…there is an edge to the bezel but I see no obvious signs of previous bezel removal and it is quite thick so it would be difficult to grab an edge on the crystal with a crystal lift. It does look like in/out thru the back…good luck…
