I believe this is an edwardian paste necklace and I don´t know what to say but let the necklace speak for itself.
Update:
Maker KNOLL AND PREGIZER, Pforzheim Germany. The company was
founded by Theodor Eberhard Friedrich Knoll and Frederich Pregizer in 1887.
Just beautiful Elizabethan!!!
I have seen that maker's mark before but just can't remember who it belongs to.....I think Kyra will know!
Oh wow... ...haha that big blank spot means I'm actually speechless! It absolutely does speak for itself, loudly in fact!
Lovely lavalier pendant, must look gorgeous worn. I have a query though, did antique jewelry have the mark of 925? I was under the impression that the 925 marking is for newer jewelry and not antique. Could it be a later addition to clarify that its is silver and not plated? I also see what must be the makers hallmark below but dont know who to attribute it to.
Beautiful necklace! It is by Knoll & Pregizer, a company that was in Pforzheim, Germany.
Hello friends! Thankyou for your attention and nice coments. About the 925 mark for purity I don't know the history in detail but I have read it was used in some European countries long before it was used in say for example the US. When it comes to this KP necklace and that mark I have read on a referencepage that KP was sometimes used ? the 925. I can't say for sure when the necklace was made but from the design and details on this I'm quite sure it's edwardian but you can never know for sure 100 %. At some point it was probably exported since I live in scandinavia and bought it here. Thankyou for kind words and inputs. If someone knows more about the KP company and when this was was used by them please let me know, thank you.
I ment to write that the KP used together with the 925 mark, if I have understood the referens page.
Thanks EBeetle :-)
Yes ofcourse, thank you EBeetle!! Sorry, I was writing on a late hour here almost falling asleep. Thankyou! Thank you TassieDevil for pointing it out to me. :)
Goodness Elizabeth!!! I didn't mean to do that, sorry......Was just happy to know the maker's name that I couldn't remember :-)
No worries, you're welcome! :)
