925 Italian Silver Opal Necklace Makers Mark Inquiry

Hi! I have been trying to find the maker of this necklace with this maker's mark for an hour now.

I checked the website through every country and everything. The only similar types of maker's marks I was able to find was Ottar Hval and Studio Else and Paul (both Norway silver creators) but the maker's mark isn't exactly the same as their makers' marks and I could not find any similarly created jewelry by either of those creators.

Hi,

Welcome to the Forum.

Is this the only mark? If there are others, please show them.

Here are the extra photos that led me to discover it was 92.5% Italian silver!

The lack of an Italian registration mark is a likely indictor that the piece was made for export rather than for the home market.

Have you looked at the logos featured within this topic? : viewtopic.php?f=38&t=27003

There's 387 pages of information there with details of over 7,700 Italian firms working in the precious metal industry.

I will look there next, thanks!

If I still can't find it, do I repost my pictures and question and also clarify I looked at this?

No, that's fine. Keep everything within the same topic.

So I have been looking at the site you linked and a bunch of the manufactures don't have any pictures associated with them of their maker's marks or anything. should I continue looking through the link to see? I got to page 10 before I thought I should mention the lack of pictures.

Yes, continue searching, it's only the early submissions to this topic that are missing due to the failure of the photohost. The missing images will be replaced in the fullness of time.
