<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DragonflyWink, post: 887485, member: 111&quot;]Hesitate to join in here, mostly because it it so confusing - postings on two threads, and no pictures of the marks (even if it is just &#039;14K&#039;), or even posting the mystery number (if it&#039;s scratched or engraved, probably not really useful, but if stamped, it might be).</p><p><br /></p><p>I have seen this form of fur-clip on pieces by both Tiffany and Cartier, usually marked as 14K, they occasionally also bear the conjoined &#039;PP&#039; mark of George Schuler/Preformed Parts with the&nbsp; retailer mark, and the same designs can bear only the fineness and the Schuler mark, and some of the same jewelry designs can be found bearing different marks, including other high end retailers.</p><p><br /></p><p>I also hesitate because though I&#039;ve owned a pair of Schuler 14K earrings for many years, with his mark and the patent number for the clip-back (that number also found on the earring clips bearing retailer marks), I&#039;ve never found real confirmation of whether Schuler made findings in addition to jewelry, a thought that seems reasonable given the tenor of the &#039;Preformed Parts&#039; company name.</p><p><br /></p><p>Might also mention that Tiffany charges freakishly high prices to research in their archives, wouldn&#039;t really be worth it for these, especially without a Tiffany mark (actually it wouldn&#039;t be even if marked).</p><p><br /></p><p>At any rate, that&#039;s all I&#039;ve got, and no time to poke around for anything more useful...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
