    Looking to identify the maker. The hallmarks are London 1970. The makers initials are CT. Hallmarks to0 small to photograph. 1573974020.jpg

    Thanks for that. Yes I did have a look there. The 1970's and later makers appear to be making flatware rather than jewellery. Also one of the CT dosen't identify the actual maker. Thanks for your help

    Welcome Alister. Lovely brooch.
    Could you photograph the area where the marks are anyway? Some of our members are very good at enlarging and tweaking photos.

    Perhaps another member could comment - is this more "Brutalist" than "abstract?"

    In my book it is Brutalist in its original meaning of looking like crude, unworked material, so definitely Brutalist.

    Thanks, AJ. I just wanted to make sure that my impression was at least close to the mark. ;)

    We had and still have so many small artisan makers that you may never find out who made this. I'd agree on brutalist.

    The marks are really tiny. Probably the best I can do and keep in focus.
