Featured Good Morning Everyone Again! I Need Your Help With Identification of This Mark on a Pendant. Thank Y

Good Morning Again! I have this sterling silver pendant with a genuine pearl and cz stones. The makers mark I have never seen before, I think they tried to make it look like and English marking, but I don’t think it is. It has the letter M with a head facing left wearing a crown. I am sorry the image of the mark is not as clear because the marking was too small for my camera to capture, even with zoom. So I am hoping someone will be able to identify the mark and maybe point me in the right direction. Again thank you so much for your responses and have a safe day!

It's lovely but I don't recognize the mark.
If it's a real pearl, it would be rather pricey on the mainland USA, so not sure a real pearl would be paired with CZs..? Can you tell if it is real pearl?
I think the setting may have been printed with a 3D printer.

 

3D printer? I would be very interested to know how that works and why you are suggesting this possibility.

 

It is genuine pearl as per my jeweler.

 

I have seen 3D jewelry "castings" made by 3D printer. There is a certain flatness, but these pieces are not inexpensive. Am only just beginning to notice the subtleties between this and a quality manufactured lost wax cast method. I don't know for sure that is what this is. But I do know for sure that I don't know much of anything at all about anything. Just tossed it out there. Looks like modern day jewelry to me. However, I do know Murphy's Law: Now that I blurted my WAG, someone will come along with THE Book Of Marks and tell me it's from a different dimension!

And I will be grateful to learn more about it when that happens!

 

Me too

 

Yah, likely new and maybe 3D then.
It actually does look like a real pearl to me too.

 

so you know the color was color corrected to show the images better. it is more like a peacock color pearl

 

No worry, I've seen beautiful dark green and peacock blue pearls before. If it's that color, it's probably Tahitian.

 

I will try to post a better picture later now that the sun is out. Thank you for responding to my post, I appreciate it

 

3D printing for jewelry has been used for a number of years.The equipment has gotten affordable for hobbyist ... https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=3d+printer+jewelry+casting

 

I STILL JUST can't imagine a ring being made on a 3-D printer with a VERY expensive stone in it........BEYOND my realm!!!!!!!

 

A friend makes silver clay jewellery, so in a way, same difference.

 

Just read they can make diamonds also.

I think it is a dyed freshwater pearl. Freshwater pearls are relatively inexpensive.
I say this because it is paired with sterling and CZ.
A Tahitian pearl would be more likely to be set in gold.

 

Thank you stracci for responding, but any ideas for the mark?

 

I looked around a bit, but I can't find that mark anywhere, sorry!

 

I agree, a natural salt water pearl would be very, very expensive and most likely not set in silver with CZs.

 

Thank you so much for trying stacci

 

Agree, a dyed freshwater. Although it is pretty, it doesn't have the lustre of a Tahiti pearl. I always love dark pearls though.
