I would rather have had the nickel itself

Dear old Dad gave this to me years ago. A jewelry company named B G E took a perfectly good nickel and did this to it. grrrr... It is stamped BGE 925. Looked it up on the web. It means 92.5 percent silver content. Any idea if this necklace is worth, say 5 bucks ?

What is the weight?
I actually like the Bezel and necklace.

 

Well, to weigh it accurately I would have to take off the rusty old neck chain. Then remove the phoney diamonds. ( I suppose phony diamonds ). Then subtract 5 grams for the nickel itself. Gees Louise I don't know......martha

 

Seems easier to just leave it alone.

Thanx for the out P & G , I really didn't want to mess with it......martha

 

Wow. Just went to the site that link provided. All kinds of buffalo nickel jewelry. Must have been popular back in the day.....martha

 

It was. Even the mint got into selling coin jewelry.
I like the piece. Have the stones checked. If real, that's most of the value.

 

BGE is Bradford Exchange Group specifically Bradford Gold Exchange. It's .925 stirling silver, there's gold electroplating and yes, very likely cubic zirconia not diamonds because it's predominantly silver.

Falls into the costume jewelry category really, absolutely worth $5. Wouldn't be surprised if you could sell it for $25-50 and for more than the silver in it is worth. It's a nice piece in my opinion. Maybe a bit over the top for some people but there's a market out there that like over the top costume jewelry type stuff.

 

Maybe some day. That web site that had all the buffalo nickel jewelry had pieces ranging from $15 to $40 . Mine is probably in that range also. But you never know till ya know....martha

 

I should put it on etsy for $85,000. I would drop the price to $1200.00 for somebody who seemed like a nice person !

 

Buffalo Nickel jewelry is still popular. At least yours is a common date.

 

Considering that Nickel is only worth about 25 cents, I would much rather have the jewelry than the nickel

 

Sell it to @hotwheelsearl . lol

 

Larry, is the Mint still selling spoons?

 

I had to go look. No spoons on the site but lots of other stuff. The Mints site directs you to a different site to shop but I'm not sure they are even operating at this time.

 

I can't. I'd get throwed off here for offering for sale. ( har har har

 

Hey PM me and I'll take it.

 

I really couldn't. Dad is gone now and he gave it to me.....martha

 

I like it. Leave it exactly the way it is and cherish it.

 

I have some family members that are cherokee nation members and one of them love buffalo nickel jewelry. She'd probably pay $40-$50 for this.
