    This belonged to my granda. A pretty necklace with this art nouveau (?) pendant.
    It should be gold but for some reason I cant find any gold hallmartks on it? Both the chain and the pendant have the same 'Z.J' makers mark and another one whitch looks like either a tulip or a leaf. I tried taking a picture but it's really small.
    Any information would be helpful

    That mark is really hard to see. Do you have a magnifying glass or loupe that you can place over the mark and then take a picture through? I see a couple of initials but no tulip or leaf shaped mark?

    I tried but it's really tiny and my camera won't catch a nice picture. I was staring at it for about an hour with a magifying glass and then I gave up because my eyes started to hurt. It could be either CZ or ZJ, the other one maybe a birds head?? I have no idea

    I've shot marks with a jeweler's loupe and a phone camera before. It does work. Not sure about a john q. average magnifying glass.

    On the last one you can see the ZJ pretty clear.
    Well if not art nouveau what is it then?
