Anyone Know About Jewellery? Is This 18C Gold?
13 Answers
This bangle was made in Denmark and does not have a British hallmark. My wife wants it but I need to know if it's gold so I have an idea how much to bid up to.

I might be inclined to look on the saleroom.com to see what other pieces are going for. I'd be less worried about whether it is gold or not. Georg Jenson is a very good and collectable maker - although this was clearly a later design by Vivianne Torun.
Gold will go for scrap value unless it is a good piece by a sought after maker.
I admit I have little experience of buying gold - I normally buy Georgian silver. A particular piece by a bog standard maker might make £200 - but if it is made by someone like Paul Storr, you can add a nought. But the scrap value is the same.

>>> the condition report refers to it as 'yellow metal' and I assume that is because it does not have British hallmarks
Yup! 'White metal' and 'yellow metal', respectively, are the terms used by auctioneers when they're reasonably certain that items are gold or silver but they can't offer them for sale as such, due to the absence of British hallmarks.
Whatever you decide to bid, remember that (if successful) you'll actually have to pay 33% more than your bid, as there's a buyer's premium of 27.5% to be paid, with VAT then added to that premium.

This similar bangle was sold at auction, nearly 10 years ago, for 11,000 Danish Kroner (= £1,222 at the current exchange rate), with a hammer fee and buyer's premium to be added onto that:
