Earrings From Harrods
Earrings Question: I bought some vintage amethyst earrings in Harrods, London. All they could tell me was that they are yellow metal.
500 Earrings: New Directions in Contemporary Jewelry (Lark Jewellery)
Price: $15.01
They are very unusual.
Drop earrings that remind me of upturned champagne glasses, with enlongated open prong setting with the large brilliant cut amethysts set pointing down facing.
Assay and makers marks also very unusual. Not English.
Looks like an axehead lying horizonal and a crown. Not an English crown but more like this vvvv.
Also what could be 3 dolphins or SH or 555.
Difficult to be accurate as these are on the wires of both earrings.
They are of excellent quality and weighty in yellow gold and look contemporty

Answer: G’day Deborah and many thanks for your query.
I am very surprised that Harrords (of all places) couldn’t confirm the gold quality.
Firstly because they had to price your earrings in the first place, so how could they do that, if they didn’t know what the gold quality (was it gold) actually was - strange?
And secondly; because they have their reputation to uphold.

These marks could be anything, as there is no central registry of world marks, just a collection of information scattered all over the place.
This (like tracing a family tree) can take hours, days, weeks and months - and you still might not find what you are looking for.
