I fell in love with her as soon as I saw her. What I think is an art deco style solid silver brooch made by ?? in ???? and assayed in Sheffield. I need a bit of help with the hallmarks please. A bargain @ £10.50 because of a broken c clasp. Since posting this beauty I have found this design has been copied everywhere and is being sold on Amazon to ebay to some of the small dealers to some of the larger ones. So I think that the hallmarks will determine the value and rarety of this popular piece.
That is indeed a beauty!!
Could sterling silver by Teressa Lane Limited. It is marked T.L. Lm and 925.
Could sterling silver by Teressa Lane Limited. It is marked T.L. LD and 925.
Then again at the top it is marked 22K. Very high quality gold
She's lovely! Happy new year Neil

Looks like you might have the answer - but in case you would like to search more on the hallmarks this site has been helpful to me...

Thanks Lori I'll do just that. Neil
It is not British made but imported from elsewhere to London after 1904 as indicated by London office import mark beside 925 mark for sterling. The mark on the left is sponsor`s (importer`s ) mark, not maker`s mark. Date letter is on the right but too small to decipher. If you recognize it, the year of import can be easily determined.
Hi Ivan thank you for your knowledge the date mark is a capital M is that's some help
Thank you adele and Lori for the loves. Neil
2011?

Mmmmmm.........2011 doesn't seem correct when you see how long the clasp pin is?
