Silver and garnet pin, stem in silver too.
3,3cm high, 3,1cm wide, 10,5cm with stem
Illegible hallmark on the stem, together with maker's mark GJ as sketched.
Update:
Seems to be the marks for silver, Glasgow 1903.
Thanks Lisa and Jean :-)

Early GJ marks has the J going through the G. I don't think your drawing is not quite right. Sorry, can't be more help than that.
Beautiful design that's all about I can say.
Thanks Jewels and Agram for your advice! Still researching... :-)

Thank you so much Roycroft for these links, will join to my existant list!!!
Found id on it for periodgems brooch! She would be happy :-)
Still not found my GJ...
Ohhh excitement.
It is American Indian I think!! I sent you two emails!! Check them out! XXOOXX
Thanks to the 9 who loved it :-)
Don, thank you so much for your research and pics! The initials/signature on the cuff is sooo similar! But on the pin, it is a pinch very tiny...
it does look slightly Jensenish and quite beautiful...sorry, I need to see marks to be helpful, its a failing, brain fail :/
Any idea for the mark on last pic?
Help! :-/
Sorry don't think I can help with that one either. Only thing that springs to mind is the script letter "I" stamp, a tax mark for old Dutch made silver. It is mark "J" on this page http://www.925-1000.dk/Fnetherlands_Date_Code.html
Thank you for your research! my first thoughts were for Scottish or Scandinavian due to the design.
The stamp JG doesn't look like a hallmark, rather a signature...
Still mysterious!
Thanks Elizabethan and BelleEpoque! Happy Thanksgiving!
Update ! Clear pics of unknown maker signature and mark...
HELP NEEDED :-)
I'm going to go with Georg Jensen, as it is the closest, and the official site says the hallmark was altered due to space limitations, making each hallmark unique.

Thank you so much Katherine, I didn't saw this one in my searches :-)
Still not sure though...
Other Jensen GJ marks, not the same...
http://www.silvercollection.it/jensen.html
I know, there were whole reams of different marks for GJ, however, this one stood alone, and then I went to their official site and read that the hallmarks were altered at times to fit the space of the piece, which makes sense with your pin. So I thought I would offer it as a possibility. :)
If you look at the G and J in the name Georg Jensen in pic#2, strong resemblance.

The official site says there were often irregularities making each piece unique:

Thanks again Katherine, I think I'll try to e-mail them to ask their opinion :-)
That was going to be my suggestion, good luck! :)
Good eye, oldandsilly! :)
Still can't read it, lol, so it is Edinburgh thistle?
Thanks a lot for helping in my mystery solving oldandsilly and Katherine :-))
#6, 1935 was the G I saw similar, is that what you're referring to, oldandsilly?
Uuh! Still think it is entwined GJ, can't recognize any old English letters in it :-)
:-)
Hehe! I can't be against the Scottish thistle mark id, as I don't know it "in person", and it is very badly stroke! I believe you for it :-)
Thanks again for all efforts on my mystery :-))
http://gaukartifact.com/2013/03/11/silver-hallmarks-glasgow-scotland-1681-1964/ Hi kyra, another idea is could it represent the year it was made
Meaning the G :-)
Thank you so much, Jean!
It does look like the script of the G for Glasgow 1903!
Difficult to be sure though because it is partial as struck on the needle part, so I can't see the shape of the frame.
I will consider this case as SOLVED :-D
always good to solve the mystery -- plus the rest of use get to increase our knowledge banks -- classy looking hat or lapel pin
Yay! :)
So right Epson! :-)
Kath, YEAAAHHH!
Hi Eileen! Thanks for your lovely visit :-D
