Hi,
I embedded your image (next time you do it,please).
The maker is Minas Spiridis in Athens,Greece.
Stamped with his signature and Omega Delta 86 number assigned to his workshop in 1980s.
(Compare with the same mark on 18K gold ring).
Regards

Minas Spiridis, born 1938 is the Greek designer,one of the newest designers for Georg Jensen. Apprentice goldsmith in 1953,began creating his own designs in 1961. In 1969, he moved to New York City and created jewelry which was sold throughout the U.S. and Europe. In 1980 he returned to Greece and opened a workshop in Athens. He currently works out of his own gallery on the Greek island of Mykonos. Spiridis began designing for Georg Jensen in 1992 and has created designs for jewelry, a watch and hollowware pieces. His designs are very sculptural, sleek and modern.
