Bought this large, nicely crafted London 1976 18k yellow and white gold swan pendant for my Mom about 20 years ago, the seller also had a stunning crane pendant by the same maker. Realize that it's often a long shot to find recent British makers, but would anyone happen to recognize the mark? Had a hard time photographing - it's sans-serif BJD in a clipped-corner rectangle. Thanks for any help offered.

Hello Cheryl,

BJD isn't in my list of marks. As you say it's a modern one and therefore unlikely to be recorded at all outside the Assay Office itself.
Your quickest course, I think, would be trying Goldsmiths Hall direct. The Deputy Warden's E-mail address is "admin@londonassayoffice.co.uk".

Thank you Mike, that certainly makes sense!
