If (and I know that it is not certain) the first letter is a 'D', then I theorised that it could stand for 'Danish Silver Designs' as 'DSD' is the mark for this company.

Re: Unusual Large & Heavy Danish Silver & Amethyst Pendant

Apologies for the delay. I have included some more photographs below. The pendant measures 7.5cm long and weighs 31g. I was told that the pendant was purchased in the late 60s or early 70s in Scandinavia (specifically Norway). However I believe that the "omega" symbol is an import mark and...
