    Hello friends, it's been a minute since I have been on here and asked for your advice.....my mother has been ill and since then has passed away, she has left me her estate and all her jewelry....this piece I found in the safe, they are clipped earrings, beautiful but I am not familiar with the label and would appreciate your input. It's gold tone square like with white stone and has the letter "C" inside a circle.
    Thanks in advance. Dani

    The C in a circle is generally the copyright symbol.
    Hopefully, someone can help with the bullseye mark on the second pair. :)

    The bullseye is the "pad" that gives a little holding power to the clips instead of a flat polished "pad".

    1980s. And I think identifying the makers is going to be difficult/impossible without marks.

    @Danijela Pope - My condolences on your mother's passing.

    I do not know how old your mother was or what her mental condition was at the end but, you may not want to read too much into finding stuff stashed somewhere. This forum has many posts regarding finding items in weird locations after the passing of an elderly relative.

    I don't blame you for posting the earrings here as you never know & they do look like well-made pieces so it is good to check out things.

    I will lay odds there will be more things to find & you know where to find us if you need some help in locating information.

    Thank you so much for responding Peggy, my mother was rather young, but has collected jewelry since her teens in the early 50's, these were special as they were in the part of the stash that she had her diamonds gold items and more valueble items that I was able to identiy. Greatly appreciate your input, and YES there is SOOOOO MUCH more to identy. Sincerely, Dani

    I used to be a Notary. When someone passed and their safe deposit box was opened at the bank there was a bank rep, myself and either an heir or a lawyer. I had to fill out a form with everything found in the box. One elderly woman left a note that said something to the effect that what was in the box was all they were getting because none of them came to see her or help out. It was filled with receipts for groceries, utilities and rent.

    My best cameo piece came from an auction of Texas unclaimed property.
