<p>[QUOTE="Ladybranch, post: 181487, member: 44"]I had no luck finding a USA jewelry mark of "V&A" other than the mention of a company by the the name of V & A Jewelry, Mfg. of Los Angeles. I could not find their mark anywhere. According to the following mention of the company on an ebay jewelry board, it seems it went out of business in the 1990s. Do note the mention of the Victoria & Albert Museum. Like Af and Owmedby... (both very very knowledgeable people of Great Britain) said not of Great Britain because of lack of British hallmarks that are necessary on precious metals such as silver, gold and platinum.</p><p><a href="https://community.ebay.com/t5/Archive-Fine-Jewelry-Gems/V-A-Jewelry-stamp-EXTREMELY-ornate-ring/td-p/2889631" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://community.ebay.com/t5/Archive-Fine-Jewelry-Gems/V-A-Jewelry-stamp-EXTREMELY-ornate-ring/td-p/2889631" rel="nofollow">https://community.ebay.com/t5/Archive-Fine-Jewelry-Gems/V-A-Jewelry-stamp-EXTREMELY-ornate-ring/td-p/2889631</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Here is page on their trademark:</p><p><a href="https://inventively.com/search/trademarks/owner/V%26A%20Jewelry%20Mfg.%20Inc" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://inventively.com/search/trademarks/owner/V%26A%20Jewelry%20Mfg.%20Inc" rel="nofollow">https://inventively.com/search/trademarks/owner/V&A Jewelry Mfg.
