Letters C H A N engraved on gilt rim which made me think that this might be Chinese, but the marks don't seem to be Chinese characters?? Or are they??? Any help gratefully...

Ah that's interesting too, thanks very much for your replies!

Gosh, I think you are right, I would never, ever have imagined that this bracelet was Italian.I am absolutely stunned. It never even occured to me look at the European marks. Maybe the silver smith was someone of North African/Middle Eastern origin. Maybe not..
Thanks!

I think this is North African... but Maybe Afghani or similar.

I have no i...

I also meant to say its quite large about 2 1/4 inches by 1 5/8th inches

Hello, it's definitely not mother of pearl, so thanks for further suggestions!

Thank you both - that's all very interesting info.
I'm not sure what the stones are either.... so any help appreciated.

Thankyou!!!

I have a silver pebble brooch which has no hallmark and I would normally presume it it to be Victorian. However, it has the imprint PATENT on the clasp.
Does anyone know when this was first used?
Thanks

Thank you so much for that, I think I only looked at the later marks - do you happen to know how long he manufactured for? I guess my bottle is older than I thought?

This is a little perfume bottle about two inches high. I think the silver mark is perhaps German, but it might be Islamic??? because of the star?

Probably 40s.
