Featured Large signed brooch, please help identify maker

Hello everyone,
The attached is a signed brooch, bought as sterling silver, however is not hallmarked, which is very strange. I have not tested it, the dealer I bought it from is usually testing his items. It is very large approximately 15 centimetres. Stones looks like cats eye effect.
Any idea of the makers name and maybe age/ style? Any links I can read about it?
Thank you.
Kind regards,
Simona

Tomeco Slovaquie?

 

Thank you so much, I found few brooches on Google, but could not find much about the maker. They all seem to agree to the same style Art Deco, which is probably right.

Simon, I found it in a Russian site which stated that:
The Slovaquie Tomeco label is a French import of Czech jewelry, used from 1918 to 1945.

Wonderful brooch!

 

There was a thread about the Tomeco stamp on one of the Facebook groups, I’ll try to find it.

 

The discussion is as to whether it says Tomeco or badly stamped Tcheco.

That’s from the Vintage Jewellery of Bohemia group.

 

TOMECO is what I see.

 

I think it says Tcheco. I've seen and own a lot of stuff with a Tcheco and then some variant of Slovakie/Slovaquie or whatever mark. Not just jewellery either. There's speculation that a pseudo French spelling was used to seem a bit classy. You get it on glass quite often. I've seen Tzecho too, and Czecho.

 

Looks like reticulated silver 800/830 usually used and then chased for the deeper designs.

 

Well, I won't argue as to which it says, although I agree with Tomeco, but can you read what it says where I've outlined in RED??? Maybe not pertinent at all..... starts with a D I believe and ends with a T....SO hard to make it stand out!!!

Makes sense. At least more sense than Tomeco as Tchecoslovaquie is the French spelling of Czechoslovakia. There is also an worthpoint entry that claims that it was a brand of Czech jewelry to be imported in France for French customers (spelt Tomeco)

That says Deposee, as in registered.

Do not get me started on the world of urban myths and imagination spread by sellers.

 

Well, I just reason that putting this stamp in a French way does have practical advantages for the items exported to France. Cannot judge about the reasons behind this decision on behalf of the makers but whatever they were, the important IMO is that it is IDed as Czech and between the two wars.
