These things are huge 3.5" and heavy. I think I see a small marking right under the loop there kinda looks like a bell and under that scratch looking mark I see 35 etched.
Any help with the maker or even an era to list these in would help bunches.
This is the only other marking I can find maybe scratches?? but one looks like a "V" with a dot over it?? Thanks again 🙂

I can't see much from the pictures but Gauntlet is spot on...be sure to test these, they look like gold.

Sorry do not know the bell Mark .
Love the design and matte gold finish . Absolutely beautiful . 💜
My WAG on age .....I would say say the large size could be 80's or modern . When you say they are heavy , I lean more towards 80's as modern designs are usually more light weight .

Thanks , sorry for the lousy pictures,,I can hardly make out the mark. I think they are gold plated. There seems to be some minimal wear on the edges of the dangles that clue me in to the plating.

The second picture from the top looks like A then 3 under it. Probably confused you even more lol

I have to respectively disagree. These don't look like gold to me, but it doesn't hurt to test them or have a jeweler test them, as others suggested.
I'm sorry I can't help with the maker.

Thin line of silver on the edges of the drops? The color on my screen looks to be 22K,so it could be bi-metal.There also appears to be a hammered surface on the loop soldered to the bezel,very unusual "extra" for a "plated" inexpensive jewelry piece.

Thanks again everyone, I will try to get a better picture of the mark tonight and see if I can also get a picture of the marking under the "scratch" .
The loop is like a honeycomb design for lack of a better term.
They kinda remind me of Oscar De La Renta

Got more pictures 🙂
I am almost sure these are plated, as you can see there is some wear in the second picture. I actually had someone pm me to tell me to get them checked for gold 🙂
Thanks again for all your help everyone.

These remind me of the modern designer Sheila Fajl . Brazilian born and now resides in California . She makes fine and costume jewelry pieces that look like this . She loves to use the brushed ( matte ) metals in gold and silver mixed with semi precious gemstones . She also likes fine details like the hammered loops and the setting on these earrings . Even on her costume pieces .
Every time I looked at your pictures I thought about her so I thought I would throw it out there . It's worth looking into . You probably could email message her studio . Good luck !
