    Hello all, happy Friday! I won various items at an auction and this small necklace/choker (13.5"L) was amongst them. I'm pretty sure the box it's in isn't original to the piece. It is marked F.S Ster. (which I'm guessing is Sterling) but cannot find a maker to associate it with? I have found a few other pieces of jewelry online, but most are asking the same question as me! Also, what age would you think it is? I haven't cleaned it, I will likely give it a light cleaning at some point. Thanks for any info :)

    The Ster stands for Sterling, FS may be the maker.

    Blake Edwards goldsmith was in Canada,and I saw on another board mentioned that they noticed a lot of this FS mark was being sold in Canada,so maybe they were Canadian ?

    sorry, but from the color and surfaces I see no sterling here, but rather a pewter alloy with starting corrosion.
