Gold and Jade Earrings Hallmarked with a 3 and a 0

Postby sddh2013 » Mon Jan 13, 2014 7:52 am

Hello,

Thank you for taking the time to read my post and hopefully someone out there can conclude this mystery. These Earrings were my Grandmothers Great Aunt's so at least 6 generations down the line to today, they seem to be of very soft gold (marks easily), a crown of sorts holding what I believe is jade or possibly emerald the stone is a dark green but gets a pale translucent look in decent lighting, the only hallmark they have is a 3 and a 0 on the underside. having looked elsewhere I can only find information on hallmarks that include symbols or letters, or the standard K inscriptions. From oral history these ladies spent a lot of time in Europe, India and Singapore, possibly even Canada, the family ethnic origin would of been northern European. I have included two images below not in the best lighting, I can provide better pictures if this is required (sorry they are a little fuzzy)

Hi,

Welcome to the Forum.

I fear there is not enough information in those marks to help with an identification. The only thing that I can think off that may help give an earliest date of manufacture is the fact that the stems appear to be designed to take the butterfly clip form of securing them. Hopefully someone knows the date that such a device was invented.

Trev.
