<p>[QUOTE=&quot;George Chaney, post: 4288035, member: 19137&quot;]I was not able to find these specific marks unfortunately. While I play around with jewelry, I am not nearly as educated on the subject like some of the members on the board and tend to forget quickly things I read. So, all options are on the table as to who made it and what materials were used <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /> I cheat using local resources and my instincts.</p><p><br /></p><p>For me, I would just take it down to my jeweler and let them look it over. They will have the ability to test the stones (though I do have tools for stones) and the metal. Someone mentioned austro hungarian, and it does offer up the style. I have had a few pieces and they were well marked and easy to track down. The leaf mark looks like a quill to me, but I could go either way, the rooster mark in similar to the very old french gold mark. The initials/letters in the mark may be a province or maker. All of course are speculative observations. </p><p><br /></p><p>As far as the rest is concerned, The pearl groupings are all things I stay away from. I rarely ever deal in any of it unless it was in a lot that contained other items I wanted. These items would be best suited in a new thread to get some additional input on those. All the other pieces look to be &quot;good quality&quot; items. Maybe someone else more knowledgeable will weigh in on them. From the looks you have two really cool belts that look complete, which would be a nice find if they are antique.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
