Silver Bracelet Chicago--Maker?

[haller]

Hello everyone and Happy New Year from Chi-town!

I have been unable to find any information on the mark/maker inside this silver bracelet. There are no other markings evident. It measures approx 2 1/2" at its widest point.

Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated.

Regards, Haller

A post worth bumping.

Any thoughts?

I searched for Sonia jewelry including Chicago but came up with nothing. So frustrating when there's not even a whisper of info on a mark.

perhaps this bracelet is for a member for the Tau chapter of Theta Chi? Basing that idea off of the Greek lettering. I know that Greek lettering is highly regulated, so I'd either contact try contacting a representative of the fraternity for assistance and/or looking into if there is anyone in the Chicago area who specializes in working with Greek organizations.

After many, many attempts to find something out about this bracelet, I have had no luck at all. I can say that Tau Theta Chi was an active sorority at Wilmington College, Wilmington, Ohio from at least the 1920's through the 1940's and is now listed there as inactive/defunct.

I don't know if its just a coincidence, but everything I find about this sorority in newspaper articles, city directories and online pieces relates to Wilmington College. One online article describes it as being for "smart girls."

Here's an idea: "Jewelers' Row" in Chicago:

Sorry I can't be of further help as to the specific manufacturers who worked there, but it's another start.
