Silver Pill Boxes with Gems

[JimDon]

I took a chance on these for $20. They are marked 800 and are quite beautiful plus a set of three. one has what looks like an emerald, one a garnet and one onyx. They also have an original label inside. I thought they might be Asian but now I think Italian might be a possibility. Thoughts on value?

Those are pretty. I got one with missing gems. If I had to take a wild guess, I would say that they could be Victorian. But I never looked it up, because mine was missing, so it didn't seem worth it. If you find anything out, please post it.

$20 for all and clearly marked 800? Not much of a 'chance', sounds like more of a steal!! I'd try to get $50/ea, auction style start. If no bids after a week, $50 OBO, accepting anything 35+

You're the king.

Victorian? No.

Definitely produced in the last 50 years. Note the price tags were on the bottom covering the mark. I took the label off after seeing evidence of a stamp on the inside.

Those look awesome! Good detective work on the stamp!
