I acquired these in Arizona or New Mexico in the 1980’s.
Was going through some old photos and noticed there is a mark on them.
Hard to get a good photo. Under the Sterling stamp there is a mark that looks like a capital I with a small circle under the top, left side.
Is anyone familiar with that hallmark?
Could it have been a size stamp? Ie, the tips in this style had numbers for sizes? My wrists are very small, so that would make sense, too. The I could be a 1.
I am considering trying to remove the present stones/coral and making new ones. The epoxy used has yellowed over the years and some is missing.
Any pointers on how to remove the stones without harming the silver?
These tips are pretty heavy. Appear to be sand cast with stamping.
Since they are not that old, is it better to repair or leave as is?
There were Coral chips in the holes, but they fell out with the epoxy.
