    Can anyone help with a date for this pendant please?
    Is she all enamel? Hand painted?
    I’m thinking it started life as a watch case that was repurposed.
    Just under 3cm across.
    On the back is stamped-

    EZ in a rectangle (can’t find a maker)
    0.800 in a rectangle
    Then a stamp that looks like a bird running right
    ARGENT D’ORE
    SWISS
    18074

    Thankyou :)

    Thankyou. It's the top one, although the birds are very similar the stamp shape is quite different.

    Sorry, I meant the lady- is she painted onto the enamel?
