Hi, Thank you for helping with the photo. I'll continue to experiment with ways to get a clearer image, I've tried magnifying glass, loupe, not much success. (: Nancy
Hi, Hoping someone can help me identify the hallmarks on this 14K ring, rose cut diamonds & topaz. I was told the ring is French. I took at least 50 shots but these are the best photos I was able to get, not very good I know... Thought I would take a chance & post them in the hope that someo...
Hi, I'm hoping someone can help me identify the maker of this Chinese silver, jade & seed pearl brooch. I've looked exhaustively for the mark that appears to be LYU or YIU but with no results. Thank you in advance for looking. Nancy http://s711.photobucket.com/user/pigtunia/library/Chinese%20Jad...
Hi, Hoping someone can help with the mark on this citrine 9K gold brooch. I thought British, but after an hour of searching I'm completely stumped. Thanks in advance. Nancy
Thanks JayT! Based on my poking around on the available sites, I'll likely never track down the maker.But it's a great start & your help is much appreciated. Best, Nancy
Hi All, I'm hoping someone can help me identify the approximate age of this silver box. I believe it's French (love the naughty theme). I attempted to research the mark, & assuming it is French, came up with the following regarding the crowned F WARRANTY MARK (JURANDE): this mark certified the s...
Thank you David. I think you are correct. Using Plata 900 I was able to find a few other pieces of silver marked PLATA FEBI 900. South American, possibly Chilean. Very helpful & much appreciated. Best, Nancy
Hi, I recently purchased this Chinese motif letter opener. Mark is quite worn. No success with research. Can anyone comment? Thanks.

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...
Hi, I picked up this amber brooch, I think this is a Russian mark, can anyone comment? Thanks!

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. Best, Nancy
Hi Everyone, Hoping someone can help me ID the makers mark on this modernist pendant. Thanks in advance for your help!

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, I wonder if anyone can help me identify the maker of this necklace. TRM beneath a sun. Looked high & low, no luck. Thanks. Nancy http://i1248.photobucket.com/albums/hh494/spoonseeker/TRM-item.jpg http://i1248.photobucket.com/albums/hh494/spoonseeker/TRM-mark.jpg
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. Nancy
