My mother has asked me to help her determine the meaning of a stamp on the back of a necklace that belongs to her mother.
The necklace was a gift to my grandmother from a British Sergeant Major in 1941 when she lived in Bone, Algeria (present day Tunisia) during WWII. The necklace was shipped to him from England.
My mother provided the following description: The pendant, which is on a gold chain, consists of a metal setting containing three deep blue aquamarine rectangles on either side of a diamond-shaped aquamarine. On the back of the pendant, inscribed in the metal were the words:
Rolled
LLH
Gold
She uses the word aquamarine to denote color, not stone type, and I can't exactly imagine what the pendant looks like from her description.
I understand "rolled gold" is Europe's term for gold filled, but what does "LLH" mean? I've looked everywhere and found nothing.
Thank you for your help!!
