[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9568445, member: 2844"]The indentations on the back of the central part look like they could be marks? I do see that the backs of the crescent shapes are covered with some kind of resin. Although I've never seen that before on this type of necklace, it looks period. In the 19th century natural resin was often used to strengthen hollow gold jewellery. Very sweet. Given the 14k mark I suspect it is US made.[/QUOTE]
