Bracelet
I purchased a lovely enamel bracelet at an antique show and am wondering if it is a Russian piece. There is a hallmark on the clasp that looks Cyrillic or Latin. Does anyone have an idea about the origin of the hallmark or the piece itself?

Tammy Grover
Bird Pin - Sphinx? Boucher?
Are there any known examples of later Boucher jewelry, say from the late 50's up, that just have a number and no signature? I have been looking everywhere, and all of the later Boucher pieces seem to be signed with the name also. Or am I just missing some with numbers only?

Unsigned Beauty set
I've heard this set is Florenza, but it seems a bit like Selini or even hollycraft. Unsigned beauty but surely a designer piece; it is very heavy, substantial, well made with interesting stones among right ab stones. Has anyone seen this, or any of its' parts, in a book,or has anyone found signed pieces? It is massive and gorgeous!

I have this gorgeous, beautifully made charm bracelet with pressed glass Buddhas, gold coins, one large Carnelian color watch fob, enameled heraldic shields, faceted Turquoise color glass cabochons and large odd shaped Baroque pearls.
It feels like it should be signed Freirich, Goldette, Coro or something, the quality is excellent. It has a large spring ring so I am thinking it dates from the 60s. Have you seen one like this?

Little Heart Pendant with Blue Stone
I am leaning toward glass. My Mystery is the Mark on the Bale..and on the chain. It's a bit unusual in the way the necklace attaches to the O ring with an oblong thick catch. Necklace is not new, but not real old either.Bale seems large for the small pendant, but the joining rings are the same color and thickness. Bale is thick, with a thick raised oblong cartouche with 0G9 or DG9 depending on how you turn it. Using a loupe the bale looks hand crafted to me.The spring ring clasp is well made.It's not attached properly to the chain -it came off the spring ring catch and whoever just slipped it on the O ring itself. Oblong ends on the chain are marked on both sides CZ and 925, and on each end. The O ring is also stamped 925. I realize the chain may not be original to the pendant..
the only CZ I found was CZ for the Italian Province of Catanzaro., but it does not have the other required marks.

Siam Sterling Royal Barge - The Golden Swan
I was at an antique store, and decided the price was right, so I picked it up. The dealer was excited that I purchased it, went to a history book and showed me a picture of it. It's a Thailand Royal Barge, which can be seen at the Royal Barge Museum. This particular barge is called 'The Golden Swan" or the Thai name is Suphannahong.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Barge_Procession
Most online sellers just refer to these barges as 'asian boat" or ship. It's marked Siam Sterling.
I wonder if they were actually purchased in Thailand at the Royal Barge Museum Gift store?

Sterling Silver Courting Couple Bracelet
No idea on the age, I mean it is definitely an antique. I would guess 1940's or earlier. The gentlemen's costume is somewhat timeless--top hat and cane and long coat, although it looks late 1800's to me, but the girl's dress is short for that time period--although she reminds me of Little Bo-Peep. The little flowers on the edge look also like a Victorian detail. But, it could be later. Any one else have any ideas?

Have tried with no luck to find the possible maker or country of origin of this circa 1900 collar necklace with Arts & Crafts style leaves and buds/berries around the baroque white pearls. The only mark is "925" impressed on a rectangle on the back. The box clasp has a four-petal or quatrefoil applied ornament--might this be a clue as to maker or country? I'd have to assume this was either not made for export or made for export to other than the US since by 1891 it would have had to have been marked with country of origin. Does anyone have any ideas?

Bracelet
1. Do you think it is commercial or an artisan piece? Note the close-up of the sterling mark which appears commercial. However, there appears to be a another scribble on the back of the stone next to it which really doesn't make any sense...perhaps somebody just scratched it, but it's curious.
2. Also on the close up, notice that the metal isn't joined straight together. Do you think it was a break and repaired? It does not move at all and I can't see a solder mark. It's another reason I question if it is a commercial piece.
3. What era do you think this is. It strikes me as mid century but if it's artisan, it could be any time.

Necklace with signature seen in next photo
I know this is a newer necklace but I would love to know who made it. I don't even know where to start to look up this mark. It is the letter A with what looks like two wings.
Has anyone seen this mark? Thanks for any help.

Brass Necklace
I wonder if anyone would take a look at this necklace and tell me if they any any idea as to when or where it was made. I do not know where to look. Also would it be at all accurate to describe this as Egyptian influence or revival?

"Glass" or "Crystal" Necklace
Not sure at all about this old "glass" necklace; how can you tell if it's crystal? It's heavy but has a very simple pewter and brass clasp. How old could it be?

Parure
I have had this set for years and have not been able to find any info about it at all. I have ongoing searches at Google Alerts & Ebay and I often check on RL etc. I've searched many different ways(moonstone, opalescent, faux opal...) to no avail. It is very well made and heavyweight and in great condition, in my opinion.

Necklace Extender
I have a necklace with an extender I've never seen and wonder if it could be from Austria or else? Not signed. The rhinestones are set high on extender.

Coro Necklace
I am trying to figure out the age of this Coro necklace. It is marked Coro Desc. Pat. Pend. The last three words are hard to see because it is plated over the words.

Grasshopper Pendant/Necklace
Signed on the back "IMAH Plata 925 M"... At first I thought it was silver plated, but I did a search on http://925-1000.com in the forums and found the same pendant, but the pendant on the forums also had "MOR"... I found out that the work PLATA in spanish means "Silver"... It also stated that this is NOT from Mexico, but more than likely from Spain... Anyone have any other info or possibly a site where I can look at Spain Hallmarks???

This necklace is an unsigned beauty but obviously a designer piece. Does
anyone recognize the end-piece on the necklace chain
or otherwise know who the designer might be? If so, thank you. I would
love to find the earrings or bracelet!

Is this mark familiar to anyone? I don't think it is Mexican but am not sure who else uses 925.

I assume it is sterling silver but it doesn't react like silver, more like pot metal. BTW, I didn't put all that silver polish in there. I have to get it out!

Does anyone know this maker's mark? The silver hallmarks link doesn't show
anything, either do my silver books.
It's the word Silver then an L in a circle then Mexico.
Thank you in advance for any help.

Sterling Silver 925 Shell Earrings
Measures 1 inch wide by 3/4 of an inch in length. Lightweight, Hollow . . . Marked "ND 925" on the back of both earrings. According to 925-1000 website these could be either from Thailand Early 1980's or could possibly be Danish in origin: Danish Silversmith who used this "ND" mare were: http://www.925-1000.com/denmarkN.html Just scroll down to the "ND" marks... The earring clip backs are ones I have seen before, but not too many. . . I bought them at an Etstate Sale in Little Rock... Anyone else have any info...

Bracelet
I picked up this small bracelet on the weekend and have been trying to do some research. I have found something very like it online. The person selling the similar item thinks theirs might be a Lea Stein. I have never had any thing Lea Stein and know very little about this creator. I would welcome any opinions.

Dress Clip
It is as found, very dark, dirty, some missing rhinestones in the earrings, but I just could not pass him up, but who is he? Who made him? First thought was Joseff but I think all Joseff piece were signed...no? So, I don't have a clue. Should I clean him? Is he brass? Any ideas?

Necklace
This necklace has glass beads that on one half of each side of the bead has tracing in the glass that remind me of the way a log looks when you take the bark off and you can see the paths made by little critters.The person who gave me this necklace claim these marks are hand carved in the production process. This seems unlikely to me. Should I just call these art glass or is there a better name?

This necklace has some sort of plastic beads and a really neat neck closure that I have not seen before. Is there a name for this? I am leaning to swivel clasp but I am wondering if there is a correct name.
