I have had this one for awhile, but realise I never posted it...
I don't know if it is 900 or 925 silver as someone thought clever to drill the upper bow part to add a big ring bale where the mark is...
Big! 5cm or 1.7/8" wide, 6cm or 2.5/16" high, outrageous bale not included!
I found online quantities of this ribbon bow motif lockets with same mark, but none as huge.
Back is hinged to open, the two glasses are immaculate.
A rose gold circle (not tested) around the front glass.
Halas, 8 of the pastes on right side yellowed, mount showing traces of heating :-(
I haven't found yet something convenient to put inside.
Mystery to be continued! :-D
You are trying to make us crazy with this mystery mark....!!! :-)))))) A shame that someone put a hole right where the silver marks are on the bail. :-(((
It's beautiful.....
Another Crazy(lol) but very beautiful locket Pascale!!!
Just going to give you a big hurrah for the mystery. Good one!!
Wooohhh, sorry for the late thank you to all your kind comments and loves, my friends!
Love you all :-D
it's definitely by kyra & co.!
Lol Fleafinder, I'd love that :-D
You can't just LIKE these beauty :)
Masterpearl, lol and thank you!
But sometimes (not often!) I'd like a hate button ;-))
Incredible... I found a same shape locket, 9ct gold and pearls, with Murrle Bennet mark AND THE URN MARK!!!

Mystery goes thicker ;-)
Wow Kyra!!! How amazing !!!! We really need to know about "the mark" now!!!
I was thinking could the urn mark be a crown. With the Murrle Bennett German connections I was wondering could the crown stands for where the piece was made. Just a throught, I don't know if this as been mentioned in your other posts.
Judy, so true!!! At least, the new link shows the first in gold I ever seen!
Plus, a relation with Murrle Bennet... but who made it for who???
Jean, thanks for your suggestion, I already explored the crown track... but none was even similar to my "urn"

Oh well it was just a thought. Did you get anything on the German silver forum? I'm presuming no, but just asking anyway.
Thanks for your interest, Jean!
No answers either from 925-1000 forum, Pforzheim schmuck museum nor the German forum :-/
I'm currently searching among old german jewellery makers advertisements...
Fingers crossed, good luck.
