I found that the mark is Austro Hungarian for the 4th standard which is 580 gold. The P is for the regional assay office for Pest Hungary. Catherine and Richard Lee posted to JewelCollect and recommended a good book for me, I think I am going out to get it tomorrow. World Hallmarks Volume 1 by William Whetstone, Danusua Niklewicz and Lindy Matula They say its a bit pricey, but worth the $$

Hi Kim...fabulous photos!
It looks as if your piece hails from Austria.. The dogs head mark. It comes from the town of Pest and dates to the mid 19th century..no earlier than 1867. I'm uncertain as to the other marks. The Austro-Hungarian marks were generally impressed such as yours are at the loop. I'll see if I can find any more info on the other marks but are most likely for the maker.
Hope this helps..of course, all is my opinion ;)
Best,
Alicia

I have several jewelers loops but these marks were so very small I had to use a microscope to see them. I knew there was something in that little hallmark, but the normal magnification was just not enough. I am going to be getting a microscope now, these turned our fabulous! Here is the link to the album where the marks are shown.


I am also going to be looking into those BB&Co info posts, you can see the signed plaque up close if you use the Large option for looking at the thumbnails in the album.

Hi Kim! They are lovely pieces! Do you have a jewelers loop? I bought one in town for around $18.00, and I can look for any marks on jewelry pieces now. Really handy!
Can anyone help me with the costume jewelry I posted discussions on above?

Hi Kim,
The BB could stand for several makers in that era depending on if the mark is in a triangle, standing alone or where the periods, if there are any, are placed. Boiren Bros, Berman Bros, Barnabus Barna, Bennett, Barker and Barker, Bastian Bros,and Bliss Brothers to name a few. It's a beautiful bracelet as is the necklace. The marks on the necklace would determine the country of origin...if it is gold, there should be at least three separate marks in a row which would give you the assay.
Best,
Alicia
