Re: Russian Maker 1

I fully share AG2012 opinion. Antti Nevalainen has nothing to do with this egg (the quality is "poor"). Nevalainen mostly made frames and cigarette cases. In addition the Finn Nevalainen exclusively worked for Fabergé. There is no Fabergé mark on your egg! Please do not believe that you would find ...

Re: Russian Maker 1

I decided to continue to scour the net and found yet another egg (with birds on it) with the A.N written teh same way. This one probably has the clearest picture of the other Russian marks.

Re: Russian Maker 1

*let me further clarify. Its not really any question that they arent real "faberge". What I was wondering is if its an unknown maker, or intended to rip off a well known makers name. Its gilt silver. They came from a lot of a variety of eggs from a similar time period but all different maker stamps ...

Re: Russian Maker 1

Here is an image of the egg.
Ive searched quite a bit to find one like it (perhaps if they were mass produced as fakes or something) and I have not.
It does seem to be vintage/ antique and quite different from the modern ones.
It opens

What I do not have is a pic of the hallmark next to the ...

Re: Russian Maker 1

RJ240 on 18k ear clips

I bought some ear clips online. They were sold as not hallmarked but solid 18k .
When I received them I did my usual inspections and did a scratch test which confirmed 18k. I looked for evidence of plating didnt see any but I did find a hallmark hidden.
RJ 240

B/c I wanted to verify the k I took ...

The design has been reproduced and reproduced in later years. You’ll find a lot of poorly done designs on newer lockets. This one looks consistent with art nouveau period as far as production of this piece. At first I thought it was unger but ...
