Star & Crescent Mark on Necklace Purchased in Spain by: Yvonne
Maharba,
Thanks for reaching out Alicia. I am so glad you found us!
A crescent and star as a motif, on a necklace, usually denotes the Islamic faith, or Turkish heritage.
If star and crescent is stamped as a hallmark on the metal, it usually identifies an item made for the export market, assayed in Turkey.
The crescent and star mark on jewelry generally means:Turkish origin because Turkish jewelry heavily features this emblem.
Standard Turkish sterling silver is hallmarked with the crescent moon and star, which indicates the piece was made and certified as precious metal by a Turkish workshop or assay.
