French Gold Hallmarks
2016-11-14 04:32:30 · answer #2 · answered by ? 4 · 0⤊ 0⤋
Hi! The French have what is undoubtedly the most complex system of hallmarks in the world, and the most difficult to read. They use symbols in the form of animals and heads of animals and people, insects, and birds have been used to indicate fineness, place of manufacture, imports and exports. The most easily recognized and commonly seen French mark is the eagle’s head, in use since 1838, indicating 18 karat gold. Assayed French gold is never lower than 18k. The mark can be found on jewelry in any number of places. Look for it on clasps, side edges, galleries, and pin stems as well as on the back surface of a piece. They can be very clever in hiding their marks. There are some French marks shown in the links below. (And with reference to your other question): I am getting the feeling that SGDG may be a foundry mark as I see it referred to in costume jewelry as well as metal scientific instruments, old decorative buttons and other metal pieces. Hope this helped.

I can tell you that the writing is in swedish, and it means: the flowering of the lips, the bloom on the cheek, it whispers a voice like a summer breeze PDA Atterbom Hope it helps
