Help identify early rose gold overlay on silver pendant & earrings

One of my finds over the weekend....   Art Nouveau?   800 silver with rose gold or copper overlay pendant & earrings.  Pendant frame has pierced design of birds.  Measures 1.5" wide by 1.75".  C clasp has interesting lock.  Earrings are diamond shaped with same bird design.  All pieces are signed but I can not make it out.  Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks!

Not Art Nouveau.

These look similar to a pin I have that was made in Greece. Mine is 900 silver with a center panel plated in gold. It has designs on it that are textured in the same way.

That said, however, I suspect this is Central or South American. The bird is a Resplendent Quetzal, native to that region 🙂

Thanks Marie. 

These could be marked 900 silver - my eyes aren't what they used to be and the marks are very worn 🙂

How old do you think these pieces are?

Probably not very old, 1980s or 90s, probably bought by someone while on vacation. Give them a cleaning with a Sunshine Cloth, they will sine up nicely 🙂
