<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 284711, member: 2844&quot;]Welcome to the forum, Harry.</p><p>A friend of yours already asked us about this necklace, you will find our answers here:</p><p><a href="https://www.antiquers.com/threads/identifying-gold-necklace.20756/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.antiquers.com/threads/identifying-gold-necklace.20756/">https://www.antiquers.com/threads/identifying-gold-necklace.20756/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>It is extremely difficult to find lesser known maker&#039;s marks, and since there were thousands of jewellery makers in Germany during the time this could have been made, I have little hope you will ever find the one who made this necklace.</p><p>It is best to forget about a possible Jewish connection. As I wrote in the other thread, there were many German Jewish goldsmiths, but the Star of David is not used exclusively by Jewish people. It is a symbol that is used all over the world, by just about every culture, religion and spiritual group. It is most prominent in Islamic countries, and Germany has had ties with those for a long time. </p><p>Symbolism as a movement was very strong in late 19th - early 20th century Germany as well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
