Description

I'm not sure how old this Necklace is (May be from the 1920's)...My Ex-husband gave it to me as a gift about 30 years ago. The necklace is marked Sterling and has 3 green stones (Possibly Nephrite Jade) in it...It also has a  few marcasites in the necklace.  

I happened to notice that Barbara Hershey wears one very simliar with matching earrings in the movie "THE NATURAL" I would be very interested to find out if it is old and what it might be worth...I wear it quite often and have had people ask me where I got it. 

 Thank you for any help you can give me!

It could be nephrite jade...you can&#39;t tell by looking at a photo.<br /><p>You need to find a gem appraiser who has knowlege about jade.  </p><p>Good Luck! </p>

<p>Hey Sue,</p><p>Thank you for the help...That&#39;s what I thought it was too, but wasn&#39;t sure.   My Ex-husband gave it to me about 28-30 years ago and he was told, at that time, it could be about 60 to 70 years old.  All I know is that I like it!  <img src="/sites/all/modules/tinymce/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-smile.gif" border="0" alt="Smile" title="Smile" />  Anyway, thanks again! </p><p>AutumnRose   </p>
