Was sold as made of whale stuff but looks more like land whale stuff cut length wise? I’d guess African but not really sure who it represents?...
I’m glad you enjoy it at least :)! I was beginning to feel guilty about all the time you’ve put into my photos.
That was my initial hope! I was expecting to see French hallmarks when I finally got it in hand. I can’t say precisely why but it was my leaning.
Thank you for all of the feedback and educated stabs at this one y’all. I think AJ’s opinion is usually if not always one to take to the bank so...
I thought I saw something too but chalked it up to sloppy metal work. I’ll look again in good light. It was dark when I took the photos except in...
Yeh figured those were newer. Tunisia huh? I’ll check into that lead. Thanks
Could be glass. I’ll try to get loupe on the flowers in daylight after cleaning them off a bit.
Two bits from a bag lot. Earrings look vaguely middle eastern? Haven’t closely examined the turquoise like stones yet. They could be anything...

Just ran into this mark. Maybe it’s the one in question. Similar enough to D&H but would explain why you didn’t find the pattern in their output....
Not a source I considered. They have sooo many hallmarks. None that I saw resembled what I see here. All I see here is squiggly characters...
Thanks very much! These really make them SO much more clear. The marks are so unclear to begin with I still have no idea what I’m looking at. If...
No ma’am, not yet.
I can! [ATTACH]
Thanks for noticing, lol. Wasn’t for lack of effort for sure.
I’ve cleaned off the brooch I found metal detecting this summer. I’d say it’s about 90% clean. It’s a real beauty! I think the ring around the...
Great find!!! Hallmarked French 18K jewelry should sell for higher than scrap pretty easily I’d think. Brooches aren’t the fastest seller ever but...
