<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 574773, member: 2844&quot;]Nice earrings, evelyb. They would cost about 45 euros here, so....<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p>The small tile with a sun is also Dutch, it says &quot;tel alleen de zonnige uren&quot;, only count the sunny hours (of life). Perfect advice.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie49" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The cuff links with the belts are inlaid with Iona marble, so Scottish. The belts (not garters <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" />) are called &#039;strap and buckle&#039;, they are worn with a central clan crest by the non-noble members of a Scottish clan to symbolize allegiance to the chief. Except in this case there is no clan crest in the centre, so just a nice Scottish souvenir, I think.</p><p><br /></p><p>Clan McBean crest with strap and buckle, I thought you&#039;d like the wildcat.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie30" alt=":cat:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="https://s14-eu5.startpage.com/cgi-bin/serveimage?url=http%3A%2F%2Ft0.gstatic.com%2Fimages%3Fq%3Dtbn%3AANd9GcTO12CpyAHik7deTs-5zwTu6rgw3zoOYUkmdwfoF_8ZzTwgVDlZ-g&amp;sp=583c583ca472efc32bca200f08a23e8f&amp;anticache=548105" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>It is the &#039;lion head erased&#039; mark, which was used in London with the Britannia mark: <a href="http://www.ascasonline.org/articoloagosto86.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ascasonline.org/articoloagosto86.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.ascasonline.org/articoloagosto86.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>It is made by Carrington&amp;Co. in 1907</p><p><a href="https://www.silvermakersmarks.co.uk/Makers/London-CA-CC.html#C&amp;" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.silvermakersmarks.co.uk/Makers/London-CA-CC.html#C&amp;" rel="nofollow">https://www.silvermakersmarks.co.uk/Makers/London-CA-CC.html#C&amp;</a></p><p><br /></p><p>The M is the 1907 date letter:</p><p><img src="https://www.silvermakersmarks.co.uk/Dates/London/1907m.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><a href="https://www.silvermakersmarks.co.uk/Dates/London/Date%20Letters%20M.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.silvermakersmarks.co.uk/Dates/London/Date%20Letters%20M.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.silvermakersmarks.co.uk/Dates/London/Date Letters M.html</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
