Birmingham letter M

[Bubble]

Hello, could anyone help me identify the year of this piece of jewellery, any information would be greatly appreciated, I bought it from an antique dealer and have been wondering how old it is, even any ideas what the stones could possibly be

Hi and welcome to the forum.

Your date letter is a bit of a mystery to me as it doesn't seem to match any of the possible M dates. My only thought is that Birmingham may have used a different style of lettering for gold and silver. Silver marks are very well documented but tables for gold don't generally exist as the letters are supposed to be the same, albeit in a different punch shape. Here are all of the relevant Birmingham M dates for silver:


I will be very interested to see if anybody can explain this apparent anomaly.

Thank you sooo much for your reply, that is where I’ve been struggling, even comparing Birmingham gold and silver hallmarks on items on eBay from years with a capital M I can’t find find one that looks the same
