I need help with Hallmarks

[Normann]

Hello, i found a earring this morning at the beach. First i tough it was fake, but after cleaning i could see the mark for silver.
It has another mark also. 48 ? is this a mark for the stones ? I don't know but it looks like diamonds, but 5 this size in a earring its to much or what ? I hope somebody can ID it. Thank you for looking.

Good luck Normann

Hello. First of all I do believe that the object is silver although, I don't believe the stones are real.They are too clear and glass like. I have seen those ring type things before and they were not made to go around fingers. I can't for the life of me remember what they were made for. Fancy napkin Ring for fine dining or something like that. Cool find

My WAG is it's sterling, all right, with .48 caratweight of some other material (not diamond); maybe simulated sodolite. (.48 representing 48 'points' where 100 'points' would be one carat.)

Maybe toe ring? I have several silver toe rings I found at the lake beach. None of them open like that one, but it would be a good idea since a person's feet often swell a bit when going barefoot. Monty

Monty:

I don't know about your toe rings but when they begin to tighten
too tightly I am inclined to move offshore for relief which causes
'shrinkage' thus more lost toe rings.

Could be a body (belly) ring. Judging from the size and the post.

Yea I hate when that happens. Could it be a earring? I think I see a post.







ADDED: I just noticed that Normann tells us in the first sentence that it IS indeed an earring. We are really more observant here at TN than we appear in this thread.

Hi Angelo,i think its posible to use it as belly ring. But i am soure its a earring. I have another in gold, yes its smaller but have the same open,lock.


Good luck Normann

 

[Angelo]

The reason I thought of it as a belly ring was due to the space when closed. It just seemed to be little space to be able to accomodate an ear lobe.

Good Luck.

Normann:
Yes, the stones could be any of several types. White (or silver) topaz, but not Glacier Topaz (too expensive) or (even as unlikely) zircons--IMHO.

That's IT! I saw one of those on one of my ex girlfriends belly.... Aha!
