[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9530302, member: 2844"]As we used to say in Australia: "You beauty!".:woot::woot::woot: Wow, wow, wow, a Hungarian Austro-Hungarian necklace! Very Hungarian style, more 'uitbundig' than Austrian, more OTT. Gorgeous turquoises too. The mark is an 1866-1937 one, and the P stands for Pest, across the Danube from Buda, now Budapest. The number is for the fineness, either a 3 for .800 or a 4 for .750. Austro-Hungarian Hungarian dates differ slightly from Austro-Hungarian Austrian ones. The back shows a bit of Art Nouveau influence, so that is likely to be the period. The shape of those two longer links on either side of the focal pendant is very AH. It would be a bit more slender on Austrian and Bohemian pieces. A bargain.:happy:[/QUOTE]
