its lovely!
Really pretty! Unsigned jewelry is often next to impossible to identify.
to tell real gold from fake stick a pin in it, if the pin goes in it is real gold, if the pin won't make a mark or bends or breaks if you push harder, its fake. Real Gold is Soft, the softer the higher the Karat. Also if your item is vintage and has been worn, it should not show nicks in the metal. NOT ALL PIECES ARE SIGNED. Some are made bespoke or tailor made for client and cannot be put under a 'markers mark' for legal manufacturer reasons. Others are so old they are before 'makers Marks' The gems look like Borealis ( specially cut Crystal Glass )but could be Opal or Beryl- hop this helps.
