It is 3/4”. 0B6DC66F-A166-43C2-B190-ED3917579253.jpeg 1E98B7F1-C18A-4053-A4C2-DDDA4C166F64.jpeg
    Having trouble getting clear photos but hopefully the two new ones will be helpful. The makers mark i W&J.R, the other marks are 15K gold marks and a Birmingham Mark. Thanks again.

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    ... Or perhaps a collar stud? Same idea as a cufflink, but attaches a collar to the shirt.
