    Hello,
    The mark kinda looks like a crown between two arches the stones are glass and the setting appears to be of a nicer quality. Hoping someone recognizes the mark.

    Thank you guys.

    PS. I hope everyone in the path of this monster storm, Ian, stays safe

    Dunno, but I think I can date it. I've a brooch of my mama's which she bought in the sixties and it has that sort of wirework setting. The clip is also fifties into sixties.

    It might even be that the mark is for the finding.

    Austrian? Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest.

    Jewelry bearing this crown mark was made by Schoffel & Co. of Austria. The stamp is sometimes accompanied by the word “Austria” or “Made in Austria” but was also used alone.

    This company is known for making jewelry using quality Austrian crystal rhinestones in designs ranging from dainty and feminine to flashy and complex. The business is believed to have started as early as the 1930s and was active in jewelry production into the 1960s.

    Thought so. I've seen the mark but was too lazy to look it up.

    This is my first time seeing this mark. Do you have an online reference guide I can search? Thank you so much.

    That's useful. Nothing on the back of mama's brooch, but the setting is the same. Photo to follow.
