Century Designs? Sterling silver necklace

[mugsisme]

Anyone know anything about this designer? The back of the necklace is marked 15/100, Sterling, and a makers mark. It also seems to say Century Designs across the top. However, google is not finding anything that fits.

I'm just not seeing it as "Century".

...and I was never good with crossword puzzles..

You could try to come up with a name that it also could be, then redo the google.

Yeah, I tried Autrey, and a bunch of other combinations. I just think if the piece is numbered, it is worth more. I also don't know the hallmark, and there are too many to search helter-skelter on the sites, not even knowing what country it is from.

It IS Century Designs! The makers mark looks like L A, as in Dodgers? lol

So WHO is Century Designs?

The 15/100 probably means that there were only 100 made of this design and that yours is the 15th one made.

It does read Century Design imo. I can't find anything either. I've got several sterling pieces that are marked with makers I can't find any info on. I can only think they were made by a small studio jeweler that made very little examples and never gained a well known name for their work. I see these types jewelry artist at street fairs selling what they produce. Being individually signed with an electric engraver kind of tells me they didn't really produce many jewelry pieces. They just never gained a whole lot of recognition that someone would write about. Looks like something from the 70s and they may have ended their production long before the internet. Studio artist today can have a website and have much more of an opportunity to gain recognition for their work making what they do a brand name that can be found.
