[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 353939, member: 2844"]Welcome again jenjewlz. As you already know from the other thread: "WW was the maker's mark (hallmark) for a company that she worked for in the 80's based in Seattle...World Wide Imports...importers and distributes of akoya pearls from Japan and jadeite from HK..." [URL]https://www.antiquers.com/threads/gold-hallmark-from-hong-kong-wv.22583/#post-353919[/URL] I cropped the photo and gave it a bit more definition to see structure of the stones: [ATTACH=full]120339[/ATTACH] Still can't see very well, the structure looks messy, which would indicate jade. But this one makes me wonder if it is a quartz-like stone: [ATTACH=full]120340[/ATTACH] If it is jadeite, it is bound to be of Burmese origin, most jadeite is. China uses Burmese jadeite jade and native (and other) nephrite jade.[/QUOTE]
