Hi Jim,
Just wondering if you got any information about your pearl necklace. Didn’t see a date on your post, so don’t know how long ago it was posted. I have a pearl necklace to and got online to try to figure out if the pearls were real. Mine has the same identification on the clasp, OW and what looks like a globe...
Sincerely,
Debbie

What means the number by OW (Wiskemann)
by: Anonymous

The site is a good help for me, thanks. But there remains a question: the mark: OW+ and a number
thereby: 25. Can it be the year (I don't think so)
or the contents of the silveroverlay? It would be very helpfull if someone here could help me. I can,
if necessary, make a photo. Thank you in advance.

Good Morning
thanks for writing in. Love your graphics. Thank you.

The signing of the goldsmith is visible symbol of sobriety transmitted over the years.

The initials look like ORFEVRERIE WISKEMANN - BRUNO WISKEMANN -The Wiskemann dynasty has guaranteed for more than a century the quality of its jewelry & cutlery.

A quick research of the Wiskemann dynasty condensed history runs like this....in the 2nd half of the 20th century Bruno Wiskemann merged with Delheid Frères and the new firm went under the name of S.A. Wiskemann N.V. Maker of silver-plate and solid silver items, its mark is registered at the "Monnaie Royale de Belgique".

ORFEVRERIE WISKEMANN - BRUNO WISKEMANN
1870s - Present:
(Manufacturing Silversmiths, Brussels, Belgium, and Switzerland) - ca 1870s - Present

Now the pearl necklace... the master of the cultured pearl, Mikimoto, opened the pearl jewelry flood-gates literally; there was frenzy for cultured pearl jewelry and especially necklaces during this time. Silver Pearl Clasps were in big demand.

The Belgium hallmark on silver small articles is a small five petal round flower. (looks a bit like a "globe". Please see link and image below.

If I'm reading this right, one possibility is the "globe" next to initials could be the Belgium purity mark, found on 925 silver small articles. ( ca 1942 - to present - on larger articles, it will also have in the center of the flower: either I or II depending on 925 or 835 respectively).

The Wiskemann family is a wellknown silversmith dynasty in Belgium today. The punch of Wiskemann is deposited at the Royal Belgian Mint, it identifies the manufacturer and guarantee quality in that all Wiskemann items meet quality specifications.


Happy Hunting!
