Can anyone help me with some of these marks?
So far i'm only sure its by or retailed by Anton Michelsen (AM and crown mark).
The EM monogram is so close to that of Erik Magnussen, but not quite .
But the really confusing mark is..
GJLD
GJ Limited ? I can find no similar Jensen marks though I know Magnussen did work for Jensen and Gorham.
It also has the London import mark with a modern L .

Can anyone help? Thank you , David

Hi David-

You seem to know alot more about jewelry than I do. Just some thoughts at you however. Looking at the face of your necklace, could your "GJLD" be "GOLD" plated? they would I believe, mark it for both metals.
The "Anton Michelsen" I'll take you at your word. But what are the hallmarks above and right of the "Crown A M"? Also the mark below Denmark, could that be a makers mark? looks like a picture of the alps or something, but with a little imagination, I see what could be construed as maybe "E M" or "M E"?
Like I said just throwing out there is all.

Regards- Byron

Perhaps the one mark should be read as GJ Ld. as in Limited; it doesn't really look like a poorly struck "gold"

Kerangoumar-

After a WHOLE BUNCH of web browsing, I know know that the "GJLd" is in fact "George Jensen Ld." the famous silver smiths retail shops, this does not however bring us any closer to the actual maker.

P.S. You were right about it not being poorly struck, if it had been, the top of the cartouche would have been missing. Good Eye.

Hi David-

I forgot to add that I missed your comment about Erik magnussen, couldnt see the forrest for the trees I guess, and went blindly into my Alps spiel, I dont know. I havent seen his mark before, could you point me in the right direction so I can see for myself? I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you in advance- Byron
