Vintage Mikimoto Bracelet and earring

[ddkvanbrunt]

Hello - these are late 50's early 60's pieces and I'm curious to know what they may be worth. I've scoured the internet and can't find either of these pieces so I have nothing to compare them too. Any help is much appreciated. They are in pristine condition!

Are these pieces marked 925, sil, silver, 14k, 585, or 750? or? You can't always find an exact match for sale. If karat gold, the set will have greater value. We aren't able to estimate their worth.

Hello - the bracelet is marked with the M and then an S - I've read the S means silver. The earrings are hard to see - but I read something today that the marking may be on the stem - so I'm going to check that later today.

So it depends... First they have to be clearly marked with the Mikimoto logo. There have been fakes...so an authentic logo is key. (If you post a clear logo...people can give their opinion.) If it is for insurance, look up Mikimoto on Ebay and get one that looks close in silver...use that for your value...it is usually replacement value, so a vintage silver one that is somewhat close and most insurance take that value. If you are looking to sell: In person local high end jewelry stores often do consignment, figure out pricing and take a percentage. Or you can sell on-line if you have account. Be aware that Vintage Japanese rhodium plated silver does not always test correctly (Could happen in the jewelry store too) & that can cause it to be either returned or not authernticated & not allowed to be sold. (One person from this forum had this happen.). Finally...part of the reason people do NOT give values is that jewelry & even Mikimoto pearls can fluxutate.... when the look or brand is trendy it will go for more, when it is NOT trendy it will go for less......that also goes for insurance replacement value too.
