Hi

Here is an image of the front of the pearl choker which might help with mark identification & dating?

Here are some additional details: The main stone is a 35ct Blue Topaz,
surrounded by smaller sapphires.

please ask if you need further images or details.

Thanks for looking

Dean.

I think the piece was made within the last 40 years.

It helps identifying the place where the eagle was stamped.
Mark offices used to be found in a limited number of french towns.
The french name of this letter is a "différent".
