Value Factors Breakdown

• Material: This item is costume jewelry made of an unbranded gold-tone base metal. If it features a maker's mark on the back (such as Trifari or Monet) or is stamped for solid gold (like 10K or 14K), the value would increase significantly. 

• Condition: The metal finish appears clean with minimal tarnish or plating wear, and the presence of the original safety clutch end-cap helps retain its maximum value
