[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 3059112, member: 2844"]Spotted it, thanks. The oval mark is the Swedish import mark, introduced in 1912, implemented in 1913. So it was imported into Sweden in or after 1913. My guess is not very long after. So it wasn't made in Sweden, and with an 18K mark it was most likely made outside Europe. Unfortunately the marks don't tell us anything about the age, so we will have to go by the other characteristics.:) [IMG]https://www.antiquers.com/attachments/img_0311-jpg.291353/[/IMG][/QUOTE]
