Heart shaped clip earings marked "Siam Sterling." also a heart shaped Brooch also marked "Siam Sterling." circa 1960. The pinmeasures 1.7/8" X 1.3/4" and the earings 3/4" x 1/2". Not cleaned. No damage.Many people believe that items marked Siam
Sterling must have been created when Thailand was named Siam - pre-1939 or for a
few years during WWII. This is not the case. The name Siam was used - with
governmental permission - to represent the Thai Crafts Community up until the
mid-1990s. The older items (usually from about 1940 to about 1955) were marked
Made in Siam, and Sterling, while the newer ones were usually marked just Siam
and Sterling.
