[QUOTE="Batman_2000, post: 94582, member: 481"]Thank you, Susan! I've checked all your links :). The second mark is quite 'fine', and looks like a rectangle (possibly) with writing in it. But the long edges are missing. You're right about there being three 'circles', which could be the top of letters or numbers, and a G (?) which resembles a Q or even a C sometimes when I look at it! So frustrating! Something else frustrating... the clasp fell off... it was fragile as I've mentioned, and more than I realised. I actually wonder if the clasp, and maybe even the hinge, were added at some point. The workmanship just isn't as good as the rest of the piece. Such a pity, but it'll definitely be worn as a pendant from now on :)[/QUOTE]
