HEAVY "BRUTALIST" MODERNIST STERLING SILVER PENDANT & CHAIN. LOOKS TO BE C1960, MARKED IN FIVE PLACES WITH THE LETTER "W" INSIDE OF WHAT LOOKS LIKE A VERY UNUSUAL SHAPE AND CARTOUCHE-SEE THE FINAL PICTURE FOR A DRAWING OF THIS UNIQUE MAKER'S MARK. QUITE HEAVY (40gr) AND VERY INTENTIONALLY RENDERED. ESTATE PIECE, 2" X 2". ANY HELP IN IDENTIFYING THE MAKER WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANK YOU IN ADVANCED!

THANK YOU VERY MUCH CELIENE. I HAVE ALREADY CHECKED THOSE SITES, TO NO AVAIL. I ADDED A PICTURE OF A DRAWING OF MY PERCEPTION OF THE ODD MAKER'S MARK. PERHAPS THIS WILL JAR A MEMORY FOR ONE OF THE EXPERTS OUT THERE. MEANWHILE, STILL SEARCHING!
Wow Celiene...good find, I had no idea this style dated to that time!
