Marks on a gold tie bar and matching cuff links

Hello,

I am trying to figure out the marks on these pieces.

It appears the mark is a "434" with a "B" under it in one mark and then possibly a head facing left in one mark but I can't tell.

Can anyone shed some light on these in regards to what the marks mean?

I was told by a jeweler it tested at 18k and the diamonds are real.

All three pieces have what I interpret as the "434 B" but the other mark only appears on a single cufflink.

Hi,

These items appears to be Spanish, rather than American. The '484' above 'B' may indicate a Barcelona jeweller.

Try to capture some larger images of the marks.

See: https://www.925-1000.com/foreign_marks6.html

and: viewtopic.php?f=38&t=37670&hilit=Spanish

I'll move the topic to the European Jewellery section.

Trev.

Thanks Trev, I will start looking at resources for Spanish marks.

Included below are some more picture but I fear I will have to find a better way to take pictures as these really aren't much better at all.
