    Hi
    I bought such an interesting piece of jewelry in London
    It looks like it was repaired with silver

    Could it be gold? Purple stones are precious (ruby or garnet), I checked them on a diamond tester, I don't know about white ones

    Any idea age or where they were made?
    Hollmark was not found, only a sample of silver
    Thanks in advance!

    It seems quit new, this style of jewelry is 'en vogue' now, I have seen them around.
    Its a nice one though.

    I would say it is sterling with possible gold highlights. However most of the pieces I have bought that have both silver with gold highlights also mark the gold content. welcome to Antiquers and i would gladly wear that!

    It the middle and on the bale, it says "925" which is a sterling mark. I have some newer jewelry that is gold plated sterling

    Thanks for the comments
    Maybe I didn't show low-quality photos, new I took them in daylight
    It looks like the silver (back part) is a restoration, the middle with the stones was put into the silver,
    and the upper part is different from the main one

    Yes, they are made in Turkey. The yellow parts are brass. They are mass produced and flooding the market, but very attractive.

    They call it Ottoman style, although I have a 1950s ruby mounted set from Armenia that is made with a similar technique and combination of silver and brass.
    Armenian jewelers worked throughout the Ottoman empire, and it is difficult to say who made this style first.
