Hello, I am new here and I am looking for help identifying an old(er) neclace from my grandmother. It is a beautiful piece that is stamped 925 and "ZEI" I have been scouring the internet for hours and have not came up with much. It has a symbol under th 20190619_200119.jpg 2019-06-19-20-32-38-499.jpg 2019-06-19-20-48-52-834.jpg 2019-06-19-20-33-23-124.jpg e 925 stamp that I am unable to identify. I read that the ZEI is for rosy blue, but I am looking for a possible manufacturer. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

This style on a box link chain looks to be 1980's-90's.
Is that center stone purplish or clear?
The center stone is probably CZ, as a diamond of that size wouldn't be set into sterling.
The smaller stones could be low grade diamonds. Its hard to tell from your photo.
Manufacturing centers for pieces like this were worldwide, like Israel, Indonesia, Turkey, China, etc. It may be hard to find out.

A google search indicates that, apparently, ZEI did set "diamond chips" in sterling. So - the accent stones might be diamond, though it's still more likely that the center stone is something other than diamond. Either way, it is an elegant, lovely design!

Hi, apparently Zales used / still sold / stocks jewellery manufactured by ZEI. I believe that pendant is from the Everlon Knot collection. ZEI uses 925 sterling silver and 10kt and 14kt gold. The centre gem is possibly a diamond as well. You can give the diamonds a clean with a soft toothbrush and a little liquid soap, scrub gently, rinse well and dry. The silver has tarnished. You can buy a “silver polishing cloth” online or from a jewellery and it will polish up shiny and beautiful. The silver polishing cloth is safe to use over/ around diamonds.
