Basket of amethyst

Picked this up at an auction with some other jewelry. Got it home and discovered there was a signiture on it. Held a certain way you do not see it. Is it the makers name or did someone just scratch their name on it??Hunted google to no avail for the name 'Lilas', Lelas', 'Leles', 'W Lilas', etc.

Is anyone here familiar with this name? Any ideas? 
It is about 1/2" deep and tests to 10k. And I believe the stones are the real thing.

It weighs 9.8 grams. Thank you for any help.

Re: Basket of amethyst

Yes, it is really a very striking piece.  Even more so in hand. If younger, I would keep it for myself but half way to 90 I don't wear much jewelry anymore. 

Oh my. I couldn't resist checking even the melt value of YOUR piece. GASP.  Can you repair it?

I scrapped it the minute it was confirmed.  That's why the picture was so bad.  Didn't have it in my possession very long.  I still have the flourite, though 😀.

I'm not a hoarder! There's a price tag on everything!
