Featured Hallmark Identification

I can't place the hallmarks on these two 925 sterling jewelry pieces. It looks like IL33 with a CA or CG in the middle.

 

makers marks , not Hallmarks...

lovely set !!

 

Yes, it is. I'm am aware that Hallmarks and Maker's marks are both crucial for identifying jewelry. Hallmarks, which are official stamps that indicate the metal's type and purity and it's already identified as 925. So yes, I'd like to know the makers mark which are the initials or symbols used to indicate the manufacturer.

 

Similar bracelet here, seller says it's Greek:

Shube do a lot of silver n turquoise stuff so think you've nailed it.

 

Beautiful set @MeToYou .

OPs set is Ottoman style, just like the Greek bracelet. Greece was occupied by the Ottoman Turks, and you see a Turkish influence in some of their arts.
So it could have been made in Turkey or a formerly Ottoman country, or made elsewhere, but inspired by Ottoman jewellery.

Shube's make Southwestern US jewellery, which this set isn't. Southwestern US jewellery is mostly silver and turquoise

Besides, Shube's mark is an S with a line through the middle and an added copyright mark. It is halfway down this page:

OP's mark looks like IL33 with CA or CG, as @MeToYou said.
Btw, I don't think the stone is a real turquoise.

 

any chance it's modern Israeli..?

 

Great info, AJ! Turkey makes sense based on what I've seen in stores recently.

 

Palestine was occupied by the Ottoman Turks and there is still Ottoman influence, so yes, could be, datewise. But stylewise more likely Ottoman style Palestinian than modern Israeli.

 

Looks like Greek marks to me, the maker's registered number possibly 'η.33' (lower case eta)...

Thanks everyone! So helpful. I've had this set since my aunt gave it on to me as a teenager and she recently passed. I never asked where she got it and I don't think it's real turquoise either...just wanted info on the marks.
