![]() Our 9ct chains are rhodium plated- but charms, pendants and rings are not. Q: Are your white gold pieces rhodium plated?Ī: As standard, most of our 9ct white gold pieces are not rhodium plated. The jump rings are just slightly larger than the holes either side of the letter but small enough that they look no different than the cable chain the piece comes on. However if this is something you would like to do we can add two tiny jump rings to either side of the tiny letters to fix them in place. If you would like to add a Tiny Birthstone, you can add a Tiny Birthstone Charm hereĪ: Currently the letters do move freely along the chain because we have found that fixing them to the chain does weaken the chain. 'S <3 J,' you will be required to purchase three charms in total. Q: Can I add a Tiny Birthstone/Heart to a Tiny Letter Necklace?Ī: Yes, adding a Tiny Birthstone or Tiny Heart is a beautiful addition to a Tiny Letter Necklace, if you'd like to add a tiny heart charm to separate the letters on your piece e.g. For further information, please contact us. If you would like to add more than five charms to your necklace, you may need to upgrade your chain. Hope this information helps even though it’s not super accurate.Q: How many charms can I add onto my necklace?Ī: You can add as many charms as you would like. Taking the age of all the other pieces I HAVE identified from this same lot, I would roughly guess it was made 1940’s-1950’s. As far as a date or age of the piece or designer… that’s tough. It was melted together, then sanded on both the face and rear as well as the joints… again this shows much older practices. The cross itself was 3 pieces put together, the long center portion and two short sides. The ring that a necklace would go through has rough cuts and was pinched together, again not modern technology. The hole in this cross was not drilled by modern technology. The vast majority of the pieces I bought are from Italy… so I’m loosely guessing it came from Italy. The fact that all the pieces in my purchase are very old tells me this piece is also very old (which is why we can’t find anything online about C.T.). In this case it’s a designer as it’s clearly not a big manufacturer. Sterling is fairly obvious and means the metal alloy used to make the piece is 92.5% Silver. One of the crosses is stamped “STERLING C.T.”. I just bought a storage unit and found LOTS of vintage and antique jewelry. (They do sell jeweler’s hallmark stamp books that lists many of the more popular ones, and it could help you.) There’s no official list anywhere that people can put their identifying marks on, so everyone would know. In reality, you’ll probably never know what exactly happened or what it is. Plus, keep in mind that the ring stamp may have not been hit hard enough? Maybe only a portion of the actual stamp (like the 4K shown in the image) made it to the ring? Or, maybe some of the letters or numbers got rubbed away by normal wear and tear? Maybe they were polished out? Maybe the ring was repaired or sized and the letters got cut out? That’s also why I started another post for unidentified jewelry stamps, to keep track of them all and to allow others to help identify these crazy letters, symbols and numbers… It could be endless searching for the right RS. The “ RS” I used as an example could refer to Richard Scott, Robin Starling, Ralph Sherlock, Raymond Stores… or whomever. With 7.4 billion people on Earth, and with thousands and thousands of designers, jewelry stores and manufacturers, it’s easy to see that the initials and letters and numbers could be anything: ![]() It’s meaningful to me, and I can identify my own work, but it’s not very helpful to anyone else. It’s like me putting “ RS” inside a band.
