Decoding Markings on a Gold Cross: What Do They Mean?


Question
hi, i am trying to find out what the markings are on the back of a gold cross i bought,it,S a ladder with a dice at the top with a tomahawk above that,and three diamond shapes surrounding a thorny ring in the middle

Answer
G'day Allan and many thanks for your query

These marks do not mean anything to me as they are not standard Hallmarks. In fact - there is nothing there that would even suggest the item is gold?

I recomend you take the item to your local FRIENDLY jeweler and have them take a look at it. They may charge a small fee if you want to have it tested.

The only other thing I can suggest is you plough your way through sites like eBay or the Antique Jewelry Fair at: http://www.antique-jewelry-fair.com/ and look for something similar.

Hope this helps....
