I think this pendant is vintage, it came from a property that was cleared after the owner had passed who had no relatives to collect their belongings. The diamonds to me look to be of very high quality.

I can not find anything when I try to look up the marks on it.

It has a 10K stamp to the right of a symbol that has a capital letter G inside and the above that there is another stamp that may be MW4 or MVV4 or MAN4 or V4 or something along those lines...

Has anyone seen these marks or does anyone see something I don’t?

Thank you in advance for your help! ACA327F3-595B-47DC-B8A7-4E17435974AF.jpeg FC7474C1-D1FE-4CAA-B94E-B1C2EBE16F7A.jpeg 84833AE9-AAFC-44A7-BC94-58794C473940.jpeg 4A928E51-1E57-4477-A5DB-774B75093CE4.jpeg 3AF9A21C-A33F-4921-9AD9-AD814BEB7320.jpeg

Very nice.

You're among a number of people all trying to chase down the 'MW4' mark. The question keeps being asked on jewellery forums but no-one has yet come up with a satisfactory answer as far as I know. It's seen on 10K and 14K jewellery, usually with diamond clusters, and most commonly on cluster rings. Most folks agree it's a maker's mark or designer's mark and likely vintage rather than antique. I know that in some countries (including America), where makers are just using their initials as a generic mark but they aren't unique initials, it's not unusual for them to be distinguished by a number. So, the first user might just be 'MW' and later users might be MW1, MW2 and so on.

Some people report that the marks on their 'MW4' items include the copyright symbol © with the Karat mark to the right of that symbol. Is it possible that what you perceive as a 'G' is actually that symbol? Frankly, your pictures are terrible as far as reading the marks goes and I can't see what you're describing. Better pictures may help but, as things stand, it remains an unidentified mark.
