#4 • Vintage 14k Gold

Part of Estate: Subaru + Hitchcock Furniture + Jewelry - Waterbury, CT (timed auction by Adams Auctioneers & Appraisers)

High bid $150.00

Status: Sold

This lot of two vintage 14K gold pieces is sold primarily for melt/scrap value (ideal for refiners, jewelers, or gold buyers focused on pure gold content): •  7.5 Damaged Signet Ring: 14K white gold (silvery tone, possible rhodium plating with wear showing undertones) with bezel-set black onyx cabochon and engraved feather/leaf motif; total weight 5.335 grams (includes ~1.5–2.5g non-gold onyx stone, so net gold estimated ~2.8–3.8 grams); heavily damaged (dents, wear) with hallmark “14K”. •  Monogram Pin: Small 14K yellow gold custom/initials piece reading “MGD” (or “MGD” monogram) with circular backing/clutch; lightweight (scale showed 0.64g without back). •  Combined Appeal: No significant collectible or resale value beyond gold due to damage on ring and custom/simple nature of pin; onyx adds negligible worth. Real 14K gold (58.3% pure) from both items. Estimated Melt Value (current spot ~$5,300–$5,340/oz or ~$170–$172/gram pure; 14K ~$99–$101/gram melt): •  Total net gold ~3.3–4.8 grams → Theoretical melt ~$325–$485 USD.
