    Hello All,
    I'm looking for some advice on some items i have.

    1: is a Egyptian pendant of a Sphinx, 14ct (stamp 585), with 2 emerald eyes and 2 diamonds in the crown. weighins in at 12gm

    2: is matching set of earrings. same stamp and stones. weighins in at 9gms.

    3: Is 14ct gold necklace, has the same 585 stamp. weighins in at 13gms.

    im wondering if anyone could value these for me? or tell me where i can get a general valuation.

    Would they be better to sell as are. or just as scrap metal?
    any help or thoughts would be much appreciated.

    On a technical note, wouldn't '585' imply 14 ct rather than 18 ct?

    0.585 multiplied by 24 (carats in pure gold) yields 14.
