Another one!
I place it just before 1900, with the Art Nouveau whiplash motif, but symetrical when pure Art Nouveau wasn't.
Sparkling pastes, as usual with this maker.
The "emerald" paste, mounted in a gold collet setting, has a lovely colour, but is very shattered...
Width 4.5cm or 1.3/4".
Mystery goes on! :-D

"Runs out of the room, screaming."
:-)))))))
Regardless of the condition of the "emerald", the brooch is beautiful.
OHHHH that is just stunning ! Can you replace stone or do you leave it ? You always find such high quality jewelry. xo
Not "the mark" again!! My husband thinks it looks like a candle, worth a search?
I know, Bonnie this is driving you CRAZYYYY! ;-))
Mani, thank you so much!
I had a look for 8×6mm octagon cut pastes/cz, colour is not so fine, so for the moment, I'll leave it as is!
Pebble, thanks! And thanks to your hubby too :-)
I'll search for it.
Beautiful piece for sure. What to do lol good luck :)
Exquisite as always !!! :)
WANT. IT.
I'm also wondering if it's a date mark rather than a makers mark...? You think they're all from around a similar time period, if I remember correctly!
Submit that marks here:

This is gorgeous! I don't even know how the stone would get as it is but it doesn't really matter. I was just thinking of Mary's comment if it could tell a story...haha It would STILL be talking!!! ;)
I also have to tell you that once again, you were right, the enamel on that ring is original. So grateful that I did not try and do anything to it!!! Look at the new pics I put up. They are much better.
How beautiful! Those pieces actually do tell their story because we are listening to what they have to say. Keep up the great work!
Simply beautiful of course Pascale!!! Love it!!!
You certainly have the eye, miss k. Lovexo
Martika, Caperkid, Lentilka, thank you!
Pebble, no luck with the candle... didn't found the mark in my Tardy book, so I don't think is is part of a hallmark...
Val, it is so strange only the "emerald" is scuffed...
Bijou, Sue, Ooh, I would so much love hearing the stories the brooch could tell :-D
Celiene, I struggled for weeks to reactivate my 925-1000 account without success!
I just create a new one with another E-mail, and post my question here:

Judy, Phil, so many thanks for your compliment and appreciation, love back to you!
Huge collective thanks to all of you, 23 mystery's lovers ;-D
You have very lovely jewelry. Just an FYI, I spend too much time thinking I can find something that you experts can't due to location and all. I'm pretty sure we all love a mystery as much as a find. :)
Beautiful Kyra!!
OGF, thank you for appreciating my jewelry!
May I ask what is your location? It is always stunning to realise all the travels our pieces may have done :-)
And yes, a good mystery and search is a great part of the joy of a find !
Kyra ,It is great you have got into the silver forum page again.....hope you can get some responses!! I have noticed the admin people have edited your post......do you get notified when they do that?
Hi Judy! I saw they edited my post... saying I gave link to a commercial site!!! I just answered CW show and tell wasn't commercial...
Hoping to get some answers...
Someone commented on Pinterest, saying the monkeys were from Portugal, a bunch now in colored diamonds, and bunnies similar too... I still not found them ;-)
Hi Kyra, the 925-1000 people can be very pedantic about your links, I had some queries and they wouldn't let me even mention several sites I wanted to use as examples, let alone link back to them.
If I had to guess I'd say your Amphora/Urn mark is probably German and maybe a Pforzheim maker. If so Fritz Falk author of "Jugendstil-Schmuck aus Pforzheim" could be someone to contact. Could also be worth sending a query to Schmuckmuseum Pforzheim (I think Fritz Falk was a former curator/director of the museum).
Good luck!
Oooh, kiwipaul, good information, I hope it helps! Pascale, I just saw what they wrote on the silver forum, good grief, they won't let you post links to CW because CW posts links to eBay ON THEIR ARTICLES NOT ON S&T, sheeeeeesh! :/
Just lovely ..'-) love the new profile ..
Hehe, thank you Gary, I love your J.N. too ;-)))))
Paul, thank you! My guess is same as yours!
I sent an E-mail to the Pforzheim museum, but no answer so far... Think I'll have a second try...
I couldn't find contact infos for Fritz Falk either :-/
Oooh, thank you Number5! ;-)
Benny's eyes changed since... they are now amber with a touch of green :-D
