Hi,

Don't have much to imput, except to say that your pendant appears to be Norwegian and probably after 1920 when the 925/1000 became popular in Norway.

Both the N in the square and the motif suggests Norway. It might be Gunnar Bjørnerud, Larvik, Norway, 1904-1980

Sorry, I read the mark as G.B.
I can't find anyone with the initials G.G. in my books.

Hello.

I have this small book published by the Dorset Thimble Society for Scandinavian hallmarks.
The book shows Skoglund & Company of Oslo Norway using a GG mark.
Not sure this is your GG mark,. Just offering a possibility.

Hi,
Yes,n it's true that Skoglund & Co uses GG, but according to the book "Stempler" by Norges Gullsmedforbund (The association of Norwegian goldsmiths), this mark was registered in 1971, and I think this piece is older than that.

Hi
The G.G. stamp is Gustav Gaudernack - born 1865 - dead 1914
He was a designer by David Andersen, Oslo 1892 - 1910.
Started his own workshop in 1910, but died in 1914. His widow and son contiued until 1938.
Your pendant is from about 1920.
Regards Tosten

Hi,
Many of the dates in "Stempler" are misleading. I think it is because they reflect when the marks were registered with "Norges Gullsmedforbund" and have no relation to how long they were used before that event.
