T & Co Maker of 10k Cameo Ring


(Mount Vernon, WA,US)

T&CO Hallmark

T&CO Hallmark

Hi, I have a cameo ring that I can not identify the maker. It is marked 10k and T&CO. Originally I thought it was Tiffanys jewelry but can not find any cameos on line produced by Tiffany. Do you know who the maker is?

Is This Tiffany & Co. Authentic?

by Brian
(South east Michigan)

Hello,
I am a rare coin dealer and occasionally buy jewelry with collections. I have a ring that turned up in the sift that looks as though it says Tiffany & Co. I have not been able to find any info on this Tiffany Maker Mark and am wondering about its authenticity.

This is a plain Gold Mens wedding band. The marks are fairly worn. It looks as though the carat purity is worn off with only specks of it remaining and only part of the Tiffany & Co. is still visible. I have acid tested this ring and it tests as 18k or better.
Any help or information would be appreciated.

Thank you
Brian

Tiffany & Co

by Vera Houzouris
(Havre de Grace, MD)

spoon

spoon

This is about silver, not gold, but I'm hoping I can at least get some direction. I am helping my 95 year old father dispose of his possessions. Because he was an attorney, his late wife gave him a present of:

-Silver spoon with ring at top, maybe a sommelier tasting spoon

-Size: 7" long x 2 5/8" with 5/8" silver ring at top
-Weight: approximately 2.8 oz

-Markings: on back "Tiffan"y ??? (this is very worn and even under magnification you can only see the faint Tiffan...), "Sterling", "T", "66 2"

-Design: There is a ring at the top under that is a rough diamond shape design of "Blind Justice" with the Scales of Justice, some flowers 2 cherubs holding torches(?).

The stem is about 1" and has some leaves in the design. The bowl of the spoon is about 2 1/2" x 2 3/16" and is plain on the front except at the very top for about 1" where the design from the top extends into the bowl of the spoon and there apppears to be an owl.

In the back, the top is concave and plain, them the "stem" between the top and the bowl is etched and joins to the bowl and comes to a point. Part of the back of the bowl is also etched in a design. I have more pictures, if that would be helpful.

We have taken this to a couple of places to try to get some idea of what it is and the possible value. We were offered $30 for the value of the silver at one place, another offered to sell it on eBay, and another had no idea and had never seen anything like it.

Obviously, I have no intention of selling it for $30, but I could certainly use some direction. Dad is in a nursing home and can use all the help he can get.

Tiffany

by Rita
(New York, NY, USA)

I have a "Love" pin in platinum and diamonds. The hallmark is Tiffany, but it is sort of in script, not the usual block printing. Is it authentic?

Tiffany & Company Hallmarks

by Art Samuels
(Jupiter,Fl)

I have two identical Pins, one stamped Tiffany & Co with a hallmark that I don't recognize and one that is not stamped Tiffany but they both have the same hallmark.
The hallmark looks something like the figure 8 (sideways), similar to the symbol used to represent infinity in math.

Real or fake? Tiffany & Co Brass with Siver Overlay Cup

by Homer McClure
(Mobile, Alabama)

I have what appears to be a brass, two-handled toasting cup?
Trophy? Award for Top Chicken? Its brass with silver art nouveau overlay ornamentation on the bowl & stand, with mother of pearl inlays on the handles. On one side is an image of a hen within a laurel wreath. No inscription to tell what it commemorates. The bottom is stamped Tiffany & Co with the numerals 337 underneath. Any ideas?

Tiffany Brooch Identification

by Karen
(Maine)

I have a very unusual Tiffany brooch. I am trying to find out if it was a custom piece, and if (possibly) the "M" hallmark would indicate it was made by John Moore? I can't find anywhere WHEN Tiffany started to use the "14kt" mark as opposed to the numerical mark. ANY help you could provide would be MUCH appreciated! I just want to know when this was made, possibly who designed it, and if there were multiples made or this, a custom piece.
THANKS SO MUCH!
Karen

Tiffany France Crocodile Brooch, Articulated Tail

How can I find the approximate value of this unusual brooch? It is hallmarked Tiffany France and also has a French silver mark (boars head I think) and the marker's initials in a diamond shaped stamp. (G P in capitals with a crucifix or lower case t in the center)

The clasp has a safety mechanism but looks like an early one.


Yvonne Hammouda-Eyre

Isn't he Adorable!!! Please send through a photo of the maker's mark in a follow-up submission. I will manually add to this one here.
best regards
Yvonne
