Hi,
I tested the metal, it is not silver. Thought this might be helpful for someone else out there.
Happy Holidays!!!

Hi Qrt.S, Thank you very much for the information! So not a silver mark at all, but a mark stating the name of the factory where the piece was made? And I'm sorry to seem so dense, but my efforts at research have produced results in Russian, which I cannot read. I'm assuming 1963 indicates date of m...

Thank you Cheryl & Warren for your comments & links. The www.925-1000.com/a_yogya.htmllink was very helpful, as was the Djokja - Techniek site.
Yes, it does test as silver. Interesting history lesson! Many thanks.

HI All, This bracelet has no marks, high grade silver, gold overlay, turquoise. From an old estate. Unfortunately I had to clean, the pierced work was completely encrusted with old silver cleaner, really a mess. Can anyone comment on where it might have been made based on style or imagery? Has fish,...

Hi Everyone, Can anyone comment on these Chinese enamel sychee brooches? I've done a bit of research, & learned they're made from Chinese money ingots. I'm trying to determine approximate age. The person I purchased them from said they were made as a gift for a consul's wife, & are meant to ...

Hi,
Thank you for the information. I must have taken 25 photos of the marks, these were the best I was able to get...they are extremely tiny. Can't read them with my strongest loupe.
After your suggestion, I searched Portuguese jewelry & indeed there were several similar pieces.
Best,
Nancy

Thank you Bahner, I really struggled with dating the necklace, this is very helpful. I did several searches for Gebrueder Hollander & wasn't able to find any other references. If you know, can you say when they were producing jewelry? Again, many thanks.

Hi Everyone,

Hoping someone can comment on this necklace, marked Handarbeit 800 G H separated by a ship mast. No crown / crescent moon mark, does this indicate pre-1886?

Hi Everyone, I’ve had no luck researching this necklace. Hoping someone out there can steer me in the right direction. I thought Middle Eastern, possibly Egypt. Gilt over silver? Marks are tiny! Nearest I can come to describing the shapes is a backward R and a U shape over two dots. Thanks for any h...

Many thanks Chris & Pat!

Hi Everyone, I'm hoping someone can shed light on this mark, I've compared it to Egypt, Iran, Iraq, nothing seems quite right. Wirework pendant with amethyst & marcasite...the wirework is gilt. Thanks in advance for your help. Nancy http://gallery.me.com/nancypigtunia#100660" onclick="...

Hi Everyone,

Hi Trev,

Many thanks for the links. I did previously look at the Turkish marks on http://www.925" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;, but wasn't sure if they were a good match. The site showing the devices is excellent. I appreciate your help.
