Cool find and ID help please

[mugsisme]

So I saw this in the consignment store. Check out what I paid for it --



The hallmark is sorta a ZB maybe with a copyright symbol before it. Then it says Sterling. Under that it has what looks like a clover (with four leaves) and 18K. Any idea who the maker is? I've been searching 925 18K brooch.

It looks like a Gecko lizard if that's any help in your search

 

[gilgar]

that ZB looks more like a backwards R and and a frontwards R to me or backwards R and a B

 

[billn1956]

or a eagals head and then a r

How do I get rid of the wrong picture I put up

Better picture. I cleaned it more, and tried my best. Problem is I can't hold the phone steady enough. I just tested it, and it is 18K. It looks like it says 10K, but it is 18.


So it looks like copyright RB / sterling / +18K
Any idea who this is?

Congrats on the pick!

nice mellons BTW

Possibly the Bassett Jewelry company? Not 100% sure thought because that mark is back to back and touching, whilst yours is not.

I think the 4 leaf clover is a + symbol

Don't recognize the maker, but mixed metal art and jewelry pieces are very highly sought-after.

Nice find.

LOL. Those are "esrogim" (citrons). They are from the lemon family, but I think y'all will faint if I tell you how much I paid. (I didn't even know; just looked it up. $54. And I believe it is a cheap set. It's for our next holiday. A week from Sunday they will be worthless. Some people pay well over $100 for them now. If you happen to know an importer from Italy, and can get the top notch ones, you can make a killing.)

let me tell you about a nice property I have for sale in Louisiana..

No. I paid $54 for each. It came with other parts to the set. I got off cheap. I paid $54 for the whole set. Here is a site with an example:
