I have several pieces of jewelry, including an Italian braided necklace, a loop necklace, a James Avery sterling silver Jerusalem cross pendant, a St. Mary’s University 1949 class ring, and a vintage silver tone metal filigree panel bracelet with micro petite point medallion. I need help identifying their ages, condition, and potential value. Can you assist with appraisals and provide information on the metal content and gemstones if any?

I need help identifying a pair of antique chairs I inherited. The chairs have intricately carved backs, claw feet, are very wide, and are upholstered. The condition is worn, but there is no maker's mark or serial number, and I don't know how old they are.

I need to value a blue ceramic jar that is either from Japan or North Carolina, dating back to the early 1900s. It is complete and has no markings on the bottom. I have images of the piece and it was part of my father's estate from Faison, NC, but it is currently located in my residence in Texas. How can I determine its value and where can I sell it?

I have a full set of my grandmother's china, a service for 12 with several serving pieces. The pattern is Noritake Nippon, the Alias, and in the center of the ID is a wreath with the letter M in the center. Can you please tell me about it and its value? The china is over 100 years old and in excellent condition, except for a tiny chip on the edge of two pieces, the gravy boat and one of the meat platters.

I have a porcelain vase I purchased in China from the artist Li Bir in 1996. It depicts the Empress Song with her sisters in court. I was wondering if the artist became famous and if the vase increased in value. The artist also gave me a photograph of him making the piece. Can you provide information on the current value and the artist's status?
