    Hello . I bought this set from the Austrian site willhaben(10 euro). I don't find any hallmark . I tested it with acid for silver. It is 100% silver. I think it is handmade, the stones are amethyst. I want to know if they are Victorian or Art Neuvo or what other style it can be?? About how much would it be worth? I'm a beginner and any information is helpful.Ty

    A gorgeous set, Gadadver, and an absolute bargain.:)
    Datewise 1950s or even later.

    It is an example of Austrian and S. German "Trachtenschmuck", jewellery worn with regional dress.
    The style is Rococo Revival, one of a few Revival styles used for Trachtenschmuck.

    While not antique, your set is towards the higher end of the scale of silver Trachtenschmuck.

    You probably mean it isn't plated. The fineness is likely to be .835, which means it is 83.5% silver. There should be 835 marks stamped somewhere on the pieces, could be on the clasps and on the inside of the ring.

    I wanted to say that it is definitely silver. I don't know what purity. I was also thinking of 835 but I can't find the stamp...I'll check again. thank you for the answer.:kiss:

    Continental European silvermarks can be tiny.;)
    Yes. .800 silver fineness was also used a lot in Austria and Germany.
    AE would be the maker. I have seen that mark before, but don't know the maker. I'll see if I can find something.

    Haven't found anything yet.:(
    I remember trying to find the maker before, for one of my pieces, and I could't find it either.
    It would have been nice to know, but it isn't really important for the value, the quality speaks for itself.;)

    She could just wear it, that also keeps it gleaming.:)
    I wouldn't worry about cleaning it, it will be fine for a very long time.
