Modern Looking Sterling Earrings - London marks

These earrings look modern to me, but the date code, U, seems old. I don't know if there's an updated date chart. The marks are an RSJ in a cartouche - Lion with Raised Paw - Lion Heart - and a script U. On the clasp, there's a 925 with a circle with wedges on it (this looks scandinavian to me). Any...

Sterling String Holder - 1924 London

I think i've ID'ed part of this: Lion with Raised Paw - Sterling Feline Cat - London lowercase i - 1924. But i can't figure out the first one. It looks to me like HBA? Could it be BHA? you can click on them to make the larger. https://s22.postimg.org/i5puya6fx/RIMG1004.jpg https://s22.postimg.org/6q...

Re: Sterling Silver Tray - Unusual Hallmarks

Trev Thanks so much! Does this look like 925 or 800 to you? I had it tested as sterling, but maybe the test couldn't tell the difference between the purities? re images, great feedback. i used a hosting service, you can click the image to go to a bigger image on their site. can you suggest or point ...

Sterling Silver Tray - Unusual Hallmarks

This is a large tray. Size is 15 x 11 It weighs over 2 lbs. I picked it up yesterday and the person said it was french, which i'm not sure about, since she also said it was plated. The hallmarks look to me like: bear or small ax with an "N' and "$" in a diamond shape. square with unid...

Vintage Mexico Sterling Sugar - JK/JR

Regal little sugar bowl with removable lid. measures a little over 4 inches tall. 6.8 ounces. Unusual mark. 0.925 sterling Made in Mexico (in a circle) and then an ornate JK or JLK, or JR. We can't make it out. The piece is nice, but the hallmarks look crude somehow. https://s16.postimg.org/xpklqboq...

Bold Mexico Sterling Bracelet - Generic Hallmark

I know this is a long shot, since a lot of Mexico hallmarks aren't very detailed/specific. Perhaps someone can help ID this by the style or workmanship. It is a bracelet with five beads/frames with a bezel set turquoise in the middle of each. There is a delicate rope between them. the mark looks lik...

Re: Italian(?) Bracelet, 1970's(?)

That clasp looks more modern to me. I haven't seen something like that in pre 1990s jewelry.

It has a QVC vibe to me. Does the gold on it look plated or solid?

Sterling/Amber Clip Earrings - KT Mark

Amber and sterling silver earrings. K-T in an oval, on the clip portion only. i couldn't find any other metal markings on it. I found a few references, but they seem very vague so not sure how to further ID or date them. Any ideas? http://s23.postimg.org/7d4t3k3dj/RIMG8346.jpg http://s23.postimg.org...
