   That gorgeous and highly sought after Liberty necklace is gold, not gold metal. Here is a similar one, where the position of the turquoise and blister pearls is varied, that sold at Sotheby's in London July 16, 2009, for US$6,883.00:

   I read what I'd written and must add :-

   I'm still trying to figure out how the goldsmith threaded the pearls and sealed the containing links without damaging the pearls. Amazing skill was necessary to construct the pieces.

   Its a beautiful piece of jewellery. What is the estimated value of it? also do you know anyone who buys high end jewellery? I'm talking like fifty to one hundred thousand US dollars.
8. ozmarty, 7 months, 10 days ago
   Hi Manigos, I do not know any one who collects in that range. The owners have had an old valuation of $12,000 but that is probably it's replacement value for insurance purposes.
   
   A little more ionformation on the piece:-
