[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 10090311, member: 2844"]In that case, and with the Deposé mark in mind, I wonder if it could be Swiss. I associate Swiss Art Nouveau with the 'Style Sapin', the fir tree style, which I don't see on your pendant. No fir tree or cone in sight.:wideyed: But the Style Sapin does have stronger 'bones' than French and Belgian Art Nouveau, reminiscent of German and Austrian Jugendstil. No doubt the Swiss had more Art Nouveau schools, and jewellery is often a separate design category. Maybe this helps to get a feel of what the Swiss were up to at the time, a wiki page on the Style Sapin: [URL]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Style_sapin[/URL][/QUOTE]
