this looks like a watch tip.
can you post a picture of the front.
@Missy50327 Hi & Welcome. I checked my Bille Hougartâs âNative American and Southwestern Silver Hallmarksâ book but, unfortunately, I didnât see this hallmark listed. Could you please post a photo of the front?
This is a manufactured ring consisting of machine cast leaf and flower, pre-fab bezel cups, and millimeter cut mother of pearl cabs.
This isnât at all the type of item made by a known maker. Most jewelry of this type was made in the 70s and 80s in lots of 10 to 100 similar items as piece work, and sold in bulk by wholesalers at that time. Attempting to track down a known maker for items like this is almost always a complete dead end.
Same goes for almost all simple one or two stone rings with split shanks, twist wire and little leafs and fans from that era. All made in bulk, many pieces at a time by hundreds upon hundreds of no-name silversmiths from every imaginable background who will forever remain anonymous. Same goes for watch tips, bracelets, neckwear, âyou name itâ of this type from that time period.
That is the true history of almost all lower end, and âbridgeâ merchandise from the 70s and 80s. Resellers like to romanticize it, and will often invent names and stories to go along with whatever initials happen to appear on this kind of jewelry, but the truth is no one knew who made it then, and no one knows who made it today.
