Chunky Silver Ring - Looks like a J and Upsidedown Y
This is a heavy silver ring.
It looks like an abstract design on the front.
on the inside it says "Hand Carved"
"Allyson" (I assume that was engraved for a gift.
and then an odd symbol. It looks like to me like a bent J and then an upside Y.
It has two repair marks, so it might have been resized ...

Attractive Pendant - with Puffin Looking Hallmark
Def looks like sterling to me.
the only hallmark i could find was a small puffin looking creature.
It's on the side, so it might be something else.
is it a makers mark or silver content thing?

Large Amber Sterling Ring - Unusual Marks.
This is a huge smooth amber stone.
it is set in a sterling setting, with interesting floral accents, that look scandinavian.
on the back outside of the shank are three small hallmarks.
I've used a macro lens to capture them.
Any ideas? I can't figure out what they could be. Not marked sterling, 925 ...

Large Silver Ring - Odd Hallmark
Marked 925 in an oval.
in a little square next to it looks like some sort of script, or hallmark.
I can't make it out.
It looks like it might be a K with a bird next to it?
I used a 40x digital magnifier scope and this is the best i could get with it.
Any ideas?

I've tapped out the research i can do on this.
This is a good size silver bowl, 7 inches across and 4 inches tall.
It is silver with a gold wash on the inside.
it weighs nearly nine ounces.
It is marked
Lavorato A Mano (hand made)
Then a symbol that might be a B or GB? I can't sort it out.

G&D & Co - Necklace.
This has an unusual clasp mechanism.
The patent is from 1940.
but the piece looks more modern, unless it is just in amazing condition.
i found some references to G&D but it looks more modern/industrial level jewelry making.

This is a frustrating mark, as the name is so vague it's hard to research it.
The piece is a brooch that can be converted to a pendant with a clever hinge mechanism.
The main piece looks like rock crystal.
it has a genuine diamond in the center.

Trev,
That is it! thank you. I did think it was odd that it looked like an early place and had hallmarks and sterling on it.
thanks!

I looked on the date key list here, but didn't see one that matches the mark.
I can't imagine it is very old, as it's also marked sterling.
though maybe the sterling mark was added later?
also, i assume these were sweater or (permanent) dress clips, unless you think they might be something ...
