Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.

The item appraised is an 18K yellow gold chain necklace, produced in the third-quarter of the 20th century. The necklace is filigree ball and chain and is 24 inches long. The necklace has an Italian feel to it, stylistically, but without seeing hallmarks, I cannot definitively determine country of origin. The weight, according to the client, is one ounce. This necklace would likely sell around melt value, as this is typical with fairly standard, vintage necklaces. The melt value is mid-$800, so the estimate minimum reflects this. The estimate provided is for auction. Retail estimate vary and are typically 4-5x higher than auction.

Kind regards,
Corey
