I have been going
though the items that I am going to be putting on ebay fro sale this
month and have found some necklaces that my be gold or gold plated.
The only question is
how do you find out what something is made of so that you can look at
how much someone may pay fro it.
Out of the four
necklaces that I have for sale two are branded.
The first says
DICINI and the second is stamped W. GERMANY.
So I have taken the
time to look into these Items and their possible origin.

DICINI
-
W. GERMANY
DICINI INFORMATION
I found this very
difficult to find any thing out about. If some one could give me
some information about this jewellery it would be helpful. What I do
know is that the make/brand is classed as vintage.
(I have not put it
on eBay yet it is still in storage.)
W. GERMANY
INFORMATION
what I found out
about this necklace is that because it is stamped W. GERMANY. This
means made in West Germany. It was also probably made after World
War 2. Which would have been after 2nd September 1945.
This is due to in 1949 The Berlin Wall was built to split until 1989.
The Berlin wall was finally pulled down on November the 9th
1989 to help reunify Germany.
It
is gold in colour and is probable
made from an
inexpensive
metal, like most products made
during this time.
Glass
may have been used for decoration and to help imitate
precious stones,
this was due to the struggling economy.
Many items would have been made
be women after the war and “costume
jewelry” became significant with international trade, including the
USA.
The necklace is also
a Herringbone
Chain. This is
a chain that has the greatest liquid
effect, formed from v-shaped links to lie entirely flat. One side can
be engraved for greater aesthetics,
and thin strands of herringbone can be twisted or even plaited
together.
A
Shepard's
Hook Clasp/ S Hook Clasp
with a twisted
link chain and W.
Germany stamped into a small pendent on
the end of the necklaces.
