[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 563193, member: 5833"]First piece is cut in conch shell & needs a bath. Metal is probably 800 silver. Afraid I do not know the meaning of the marks nor whether they were put there during the making or sometime later in its life. Second piece is resin set in who knows what. Earrings are helmet shell & just not well matched for thickness, but as long as this is not obvious when worn, no big deal. They also need a wash. Looks like figures both face the same direction, so factory just cranking them out, sending them off by the lot for setting elsewhere.[/QUOTE]
