[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 1483861, member: 2844"]They are gorgeous, BMRT. I agree, the style is Austrian and south German. It is a 20th century continuation of the famous Austro-Hungarian Historic Revival style. These are often worn with regional costumes. It looks like they have been imported into the Netherlands at some stage. This jewellery was also imported into the Netherlands, on a small scale. The first mark you showed is shaped like a Dutch silver weight mark, although I am not familiar with what is inside the mark. There should be a number. The second mark has an overlapping Dutch [I]ZII[/I] mark. [I]ZII [/I]is for 835 silver which was imported, unmarked antique Dutch, or of unknown origin. I would not buy anything of this relatively recent age with cracked stones. You can still find those bracelets on the German and Austrian ebays. These were and still are popular, not very rare, so you don't have to settle for cracked stones. My guess for the bracelet is 1950s, the pendant could be older. I think the pendant is a real beauty. I would buy it in a heartbeat (for the right price).[/QUOTE]
