Hi and thank you in advance for any help offered. Sorry the 1st photo also contains part of a bracelet but the item in question is the pin. I believe it's from Norway and I'm hoping to find the maker's name behind the interesting mark. Looks like an elongated figure 8 on its side, with the point of a slightly tilted V shape intersecting the sideways 8 at the middle. Also marked 925 S. I think it's quite old - perhaps from the 1920s when they started using 925 as well as 830. It has an old style tube hinged pin stem. Here are photos - the pin in the foreground of 1st picture, followed by photo of mark.

Hi,
If you haven't got answer before, the pin is made by Gustav HellstrÃ¸m, Stavanger, Norway (father and sonn) 1868-1957.
