<p>[QUOTE=&quot;quirkygirl, post: 162939, member: 106&quot;]Hello!&nbsp; I&#039;ve been searching and Googling for an ID of the maker with no luck <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/frown.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":(" unselectable="on" /> ... am hoping some of you jewelry wizards (or maybe even someone with better eyes than mine) can make out the mark or words on the back of this silver-colored pendant set with a large (over1.5&quot; by ¾&quot; or about 4cm by 2cm) blue glass center &quot;stone&quot; and several smaller colorless and black glass pastes.&nbsp; There are 4 missing pastes and the center &quot;stone&quot; is in bad shape (but still looks good if no one gets too close to me <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" /> )</p><p><br /></p><p>Total length of pendant is just over 2¾&quot; or 7.2cm long and weighs just over an ounce.</p><p><br /></p><p>At some point after it was made there had been a pin bar added - of which only the clasp end remains (good - less work for me to remove it)</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve included many photos ... so I&#039;ll apologize in advance if there are too many ... it&#039;s just so difficult to see the details in a photo that can be seen when the item is in one&#039;s own hand.</p><p><br /></p><p>When in the thrift store, I thought that the oblong mark was a boar ... which would make sense with a diamond-shaped makers mark (with what looks like an &quot;S&quot; above or below a blob and another undecipherable letter at the other end of that blob)&nbsp; and what looks like the word &quot;Paris&quot; stamped on the back.&nbsp; Now that I&#039;ve cleaned up the mark ... I&#039;m not sure.&nbsp; I&#039;ve searched through all the letters for French silversmiths at 950-1000 but no marks looked like mine.</p><p><br /></p><p>I cannot make out the word(s) that are under the stamp that looks like &quot;Paris&quot; although some of the letters are clear,</p><p><br /></p><p>Do you think this is an actual Art Deco period piece or a more recent piece in that style?</p><p><br /></p><p>Here it is in day</p><p>light on a white background which has washed out the color of the center glass &quot;stone&quot; something terrible.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]44526[/ATTACH]</p><p>this is a better representation of the blue color</p><p>[ATTACH=full]44527[/ATTACH]</p><p>I know y&#039;all like to see the back <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]44528[/ATTACH]</p><p>marks before polishing</p><p>[ATTACH=full]44529[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]44530[/ATTACH]</p><p>and after ...</p><p>[ATTACH=full]44531[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]44532[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]44533[/ATTACH]</p><p>These are the words or name that I cannot make out</p><p>[ATTACH=full]44534[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]44535[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for any thoughts or directions where I can look for an answer.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
