    Hi
    I wondered if anybody could identify these marks on a pendant I was bequeathed by I relative. I’m guessing they are Chinese but could possibly be Japanese. Not sure what stones are in the centre and just below the bezel either but could possibly be Jade. The turquoise colour is enamel. Thanks in anticipation.

    Welcome Ali.
    It is Chinese. I can't read the script, sorry. It doesn't look like a Chinese silver mark to me. These pendants are generally a very low grade silver or have no silver content. It could be the manufacturer's mark.
    Maybe it is jade, but in this style of jewellery it is often a dyed jade lookalike.

    Stone could be malachite

    It doesn't look like malachite to me, no banding or other malachite patterns. I have never seen malachite used in this kind of jewellery. They generally go for jade, amethyst and amber lookalikes, mostly sold as the real deal. You can find many pendants like this on ebay.

    Mark looks a little more Korean. You might want to search that way.

    These are made in China, in a traditional Chinese style. There are many on ebay, all from Chinese sellers.

    The stone could be a chrysocolla variant.

    No, sorry, it isn't. But thanks for giving as another chance to look at beautiful Mongolian jewellery.
    Mongolian traditional silver jewellery is high quality, genuine silver, and valuable. It is a much higher quality than this mass produced pendant. Besides, the Mongolians don't inundate ebay with their traditional jewellery.
    Please people, just check the Chinese ebay listings.
