<p>[QUOTE="smallaxe, post: 2207295, member: 13430"]Another inherited piece, but one with zero information attached. I know that there's a limit to what can be told from photos, but you folks here are so clever and knowledgeable. I have a few questions about this. Is it likely to be costume or precious (I'm leaning toward precious)? Any ideas on time period (if I guessed, I'd say 1950's or 60's)? What country (owner was American, and "7" stamp is American style, so I'm guessing America)? Is Hertz the retailer or maker?</p><p>It appears to be gold, but no mark designating that. Above the gold, the stones are set in a different silver colored metal. The only markings I can find are "Hertz" on the pin, and the number 5527 (I think - first two numbers not fully stamped) on the back. There are a number of "Hertz" names associated with jewelry, and I'm not sure which of them are connected to this. Any info on this welcome.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]254437[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]254441[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]254442[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
