Fisher Sterling
old necklace- real or fake?
My dad has this old cedar chest, with letters and books from the 1800s all the way up to the 1970s, with things in it that are from family members. No one else has bothered to look inside it because it is a mess but also because it is old and creepy. Anyway I found an old necklace in there. It is from W.C. Fisher in Lorain Ohio which apparently does not exist anymore. The necklace says STERLING in big letters on the clasp, but there are also tiny diamond looking stones throughout the necklace. On the Bottom there are two hanging pearls…or maybe not real pearls but they look like it. I am just wondering how you can tell if the silver, diamond, and pearls are real…any help would be appreciated.
try an appraisal store. a great place to check is you family album, see if there are old photos with anyone wearing one. if it is an heirloom from a immigrant maybe it is an import. ask ur dad where he got it. check for out of business business on the internet for lorain ohio…. i will check around.
i found this site: saying that it was a jewlery store “W. C. Fisher’s jewelry store at 444 Broadway.” in lorain ohio https://www.lorainpubliclibrary.com/about/chronology.asp
what you have may be an antique don’t sell it, yet! an antique is anything 100 yrs old on the day that it is.
the jewler was really involved in the community and library
according to http://pview.findlaw.com/cmd/profileview?wld_id=2564344_1&channel=&print=1
the place is now a law office.
as for if it is sterling…..
check at a jewlery store or antique shop.
for a small price some place will be able to check with examination. make sure they don’t rub it with chemical, damges value
