[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 261431, member: 2844"]A lovely, elegant necklace. I'm sure it looks very nice the other way around as well.;) Being European, my first flash thought was Jensen. My second flash was no. Danish pieces are usually marked, Jensen always is, of course. Mexican silver marking is very inconsistent. Spratling did make cast pieces, but his work is always marked. Designers who worked for Spratling sometimes made Spratling copies or Spratling-like jewellery after they left. I have a classic Spratling Maya design bracelet made by someone who once worked for him. The designer used his own mark. Here is an odd thought: Poland makes a lot of good quality Art Nouveau floral style jewellery. The Nouveau period just never stopped there. The jewellery usually has good assay and date marks, but some just mark their jewellery 925. Here is a Polish Art Nouveau style brooch from the 1980s: [ATTACH=full]81848[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
