It is a capital D with a small dot inside the D.

Can you try a new picture on a plain background which might help show the Marks better including the top one.

Your pretty earrings look like blister pearls on my monitor.  Do they rise a bit in the middle?  Still searching for a maker...

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

Re: Help with Maker's Mark on Earrings

Your earrings are gorgeous! The pearls are "mabe," aka blister pearls.

 

From Google, just to share the information:

 

"Mabe (pronounced MAH-BEE): Mabe pearls grow against the oyster shell. This “blister” pearl is hemispherical in shape. Once harvested, the nucleus is replaced by resin, and the flat back is covered in mother-of-pearl."

They are very "Dior" looking but I'm pretty sure that's not an actual Dior sig.

Now there's a mfr. I've never heard of, not that I've heard of them all. Have never run across it in all my years of scrolling through vintage jewelry on Ebay.

This time I was very careful about type of font. I am thinking that the D is for Dresse and the other is a name prefex? Will try to add to the ID Topic. Wish me luck.

Latendresse...French for the "the tenderness"?

I was guessing. I don't speak French but I'm pretty sure I've run across "tendresse" before.

 

The only French phrases I know I picked up from Hercule Poirot in Agatha Christie novels. grin

Re: Help with Maker's Mark on Earrings

Tendresse actually means a feeling of fondness or love. If you've run into the word, it's more likely to have been in romance novels (especially Regency ones) -- she had a tendresse for...

Love Jewelry! What a great brand name!

Good guess with "tenderness," but French is full of what my old teachers called faux amis -- phony friends -- words that sound like English words but don't mean quite the same thing.
