Tiffany & Co. "Atlas Collection" by John Loring/ Square Roman Numeral Pendant /.925 Silver with 16" Chain /Circa 20th Century

Who would think something this simple would have a Tiffany mark on it, but it does. There are two places. It's marked clearly on the oval by the clasp. One side says Tiffany & Co. the other side has .925. The pendant is also marked on it's outside edge "Atlas"c Tiffany & Co. .925. The square pendants seem to be rarer as most of the ones I found online were the round versions in different sizes. I found a few of the square ones on Ebay but they are marked on the top edge of the pendant and also have the year of 2003. Mine has no year so I think it's an older piece. This is what Tiffany's site says about this collection :

Here’s the story behind the Atlas® collection:

“Created by John Loring, Tiffany design director emeritus, the Atlas® collection explores the raised Roman numerals of its archetype, the Atlas® watch. Introduced in 1983, the timepiece is an icon of style, featuring an hour track of brightly polished Roman-numeral markers in high relief. For its originality, the Atlas® watch was granted a rare U.S. patent. Of his many Tiffany designs, Loring says this is his favorite because “it’s had such staying power and translated so brilliantly into jewelry that is a true statement of fashion.”

The silver pieces are the least expensive. The same designs done in gold, platinum and diamonds are very expensive as you would expect from Tiffany. -Mike-
