do you konw what these pendants are and if they are worth anything?

ok so i can't add pictures for some reason
so i will describe it to the best of my knowledge

ok it is like a cross sword with a cross over the top of it (it is as one pendant though)
in the middle there is an orange agate stone (round)
then near this on the cross handles there is a red and green and purple and blue stones (i think these are agates as well)(these are also round)
then inbetween each of the smaller round stones there just above it there are some round stones in mint green , purple ,brown and red (i think these are agates)(these are rectanglular)
the bail is above the red rectangle stone
i have been told this is a scottish agate pendant however i can't find any hallmarks

i also have a rolled gold heart locket
this has a flowering tree on the main part of the locket
then the edges have a swirled pattern
i have been told this is from the 1950's

i was wondering if anyone knew how much these are worth and if anyone has similar

I don't think the locket is worth anything if it's rolled gold, but you would have to take the other two to a jewelry store that does appraisals. Let them know if you are looking for a sales appraisal or an insurance appraisal or both.

do you think this pendant is worth anything?

I've worked part time in a jewellers for 4 years whilst at uni.
You can send the cross away to have the metal tested and hallmarked, although this can be around £40 to have it done.
You can have the items valued, there is a company called SafeGuard who will value the items for around £40 for the first item and £20 for any consecutive item. They will also send you a certificate with a description and photograph for insurance purposes. You can go into any H Samuel and they will send it off for you.
I would say it does depend a lot on what the agate is set in and its age. Obviously older, well made pieces, will have more value than modern, mass produced machine made items.

Generally speaking, rolled gold is not that valuable. The 1950s is not that old but 50s influences are creeping back into fashion, interiors and accessories. With these things sometimes they are worth as much as someone is willing to pay for them. Its really hard to say without seeing them, but I would say do a bit of market research, see if there is anything similar in the shops, that will give you a ball park figure of value.

I hope that is of some help!

What is this stone/gem called?

Jun 01, 2009 by >D | Posted in Earth Sciences & Geology

http://s270.photobucket.com/albums/jj112/pinkdomino328/?action=view&current=Pendant.jpg The second stone, more preferably. I know the first one is blue lace agate.

By the way, if you have happen to know what website these came from, I'd love to know! ^^ Thank you in advance ;)

The gem is most likely polished amber or another stone made of sap. I not it may be just a rock that had a pretty inside.
