    Try photos of the front and back of the piece, and one with less magnification of the maker's marks.

    I don't see anything important about the stones,"native cut" stones cut for weight and not quality... “windowed” or “fish eyegemstone". It could have been made in Switzerland or Japan as both countries have makers who used snowflakes in their marks.Only a good photo of the marks may lead to someone identifying the maker.

    Maybe photograph the mark at a couple angles in daylight. It doesn't have to be zoomed in so close - I'm having a very hard time putting the elements in context.

    :angelic: please!

    The Real Real

    The thing I'm noticing is the haphazard angles of the marks and what looks like an incomplete stamp - deeper on one side than the other. That's why it's important to back out and try to get an image that shows clearly the entire set of marks, if possible.

    I have no opinion on the piece, per se. I don't know who made it.

    But, a very fine piece of jewelry with thousands of $$$ worth of stones and 18k gold would be very crisp and well-placed.

    Here's vc&a's own statement on their marks.

    “All Van Cleef & Arpels jewelry will have a trademark, serial number and metal hallmark,” says Krakowski. The brand stamp (trademark) has changed over the years, and will read either “Van Cleef & Arpels” or “VCA.” If a piece is simply marked “Van Cleef,” this is a red flag that the piece might not be Authentic.

    Each piece will have a unique serial number with a correlating certificate presented at purchase. Additionally, Van Cleef & Arpels only uses 18 karat gold, so each piece will be marked with “750.” “These tiny markings are often on the gold edge of the Alhambra motif on the quatrefoil located nearest to the clasp, or on a small gold station,” Krakowski points out. On rings they will be inside the shank, and on earrings, one ear clip may have the trademark and the other the serial number, or they may both be on one clip.
