I think it's obvious that this piece requires a "hands on" look by someone familiar with "early gold jewelry". Have you contacted a knowledgeable auction company?

I have no idea if the following auction house could help you.

hat bracelet is a gift from francesco morosini to our grandmother before 300+ years ago.
we own it since that time, it is registered antique at my ministry of antiquities in egypt.

Well lets see, 300 years ago and your grandmother ??  That would make you at least 150 years old or more !!

At least let us see the registry papers !! You can cover the name as was said above !!

Why would Egypt be concerned with an Italian antiquity ??    Simple,, it isn`t !!  The Ministry of Antiquities only has authority if the antiques in question are from Egypt or related to Egypt !! They could care less about something made in Italy !!

English is clearly not the poster's first language, so misusing "grandmother" doesn't bother me as much as misstating the mission of the Ministry of Antiquities in Egypt, which is exactly as Mart stated:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ministry_of_State_of_Antiquities

They don't care about something made in Italy. They've got their hands full with Egyptian stuff.

This post looks like a "price fishing" expedition for an object of questionable authenticity.

Yep, I'd say that's probably correct. Was hanging around hoping OP would engage a bit more but the old woman ran him off! :o

yes, English is not my first language
The Ministry of State of Antiquities is the Egyptian government organization which serves to protect and preserve the heritage and ancient history of Egypt... also it give you the ability to register any foreign antiques that you own !!

anyway, i didn't try to sell it online here on that forum guys !!.. 
i only asked for some help & some information !!
also please don't keep asking about documents, because i will not post any paper public on the forum !!

so just i will be very grateful if anybody can give me more information about the evaluation !!

thank you!

In that case I suggest you hire an appraiser !!  We can not document its authenticity without seeing the papers on it !!  We can not even certify that it is gold without proper papers on it !!  We could care less about your family,,we have enough problems with ours !!  Just because it may be that old,, that does not translate into value !!  Value is what someone is willing to pay for an item !!  Not sure anyone would want this one and most do not have finances enough to buy something that can not be used !!

Was it King of Things? No idea.

I stopped posting there because of rudeness from a couple of regulars (NOT King of Things, who seems like a jovial sort). One of them seems to have stopped posting. Anyway, the vast majority are good folks, but you know what they say about a couple of bad apples.

This is supposed to be fun, so when people start acting like ****s, I'm out.

Yes, it was king of things, totally weird why everything is so secret. Isn't sure if he was banned or just removed profile but SOMETHING happened!  I miss things like this because i fall into not posting or reading because nothing of interest for me, same as here.

Yeah, so weird, especially for someone who was such a core member and whose posts seem to have mostly consisted of puns and jokes.

I guess if you're not there all the time, then you'll miss the "interesting" things.
