I found some Selro asian princess cufflinks, but they have the non-metal face as most of the pins do. Yours perhaps were done in the style of...
Love those bookends! And that brass disc is so interesting!
Just an update. Not a diamond. :( Oh well, I kind of figured that, but it would have been nice. Still beautiful and still a honking big piece...
Just for the heck of it, I'm gonna put it in an auction. Thanks everyone for the information - at least I learned something new. :)
Welcome CCR. :)
Well, I will admit something. Last month, I bought some "sterling" abalone appetizer picks (to resell) that turned out to not be silver. I...
And I'd definitely ask for a photograph of the damage. If someone's trying to scam them, they'll go away real quick when they can't provide any...

You're welcome, no problem at all. I love looking for marks on asian items when I have time so I can learn. I kind of thought it was macau...
Here's from an item that was up for auction on icollector. [ATTACH] And here's a screen cap from gotheborg with a little more information. [ATTACH]
Here's how the mark should be oriented, and I think it is a Macau mark. Modern as you suspected. [ATTACH]
Moreotherstuff, just wanted to let you know I went back and looked at the bracelet again and found a maker's mark, Bell Trading Company. I'm glad...
