    Hello everyone.

    Picked this pendant on a last show in Atlanta.
    It was initially sold as 14k but after machine testing came up to 20k purity.
    Can anyone date it and point to the country of origin?
    No hallmarks anywhere.

    The foil in the fichu makes me think Limoges French enamel, but I'm surprised by the 20k gold.

    I'm with kyra, the foil enamel does look French.
    There seem to be marks on the loop, could you post photos of the marks please?
    Probably .840 gold?

    I'd think 1960s Mod and Italian.

    It does look very 1960s. As for the origin, I hope the photos of the marks will tell us more.

    Her face is very like some sixties Italian pottery, San Remo for example.

    There is something stamped on the loop but you need a microscope to figure what that is. I can't even make any legible picture.

    Was it sold in that box?

    It doesn't always have to be legible, sometimes the shape of the mark is an indication. Try photographing the loop on a white background, so there is enough light reflection.

    No I have a huge amount of vintage boxes so just used one of them.

    Because it's the wrong period, it distracts and confuses the eye a bit.

    Tried to tweak the photo of the loop:

    This is the French eagle mark for gold, maybe the mark on the right is the eagle mark:

    The other way around, the mark is now on the left:
