With goblets, initials can be removed by a skilled silversmith. On a piece of jewelry such as yours, where the initials are the design, a potential buyer would either have to want it just for the design itself, potentially have the same initials, or just not care. As I believe Petersen did quite a lot of custom work, buyers of this kind of piece did not necessarily have to be wealthy or special customers. Hope this has answered your question.

The back of the pin has the following markings: PETERSEN HAND MADE STERLING with an impressed PP on the left side and another impressed marking on the right side The back of the earings has the markings PETERSEN HAND MADE plus the PP on the left side. On the front of the pin are the letters,in script form, EBS, and on the front of the earings the initial B in the same kind of script writing. I would assume that the initials of the person for whom these were made was E.( first letter of her first name) S. ( first letter of her middle name) and B.(which would have been the first letter of her last name).I would assume that the person for whom these were made was either important and/or wealthy to have such a famous jeweller make these specifically for her. I would very much appreciate any information that you might have on this jewellery. Sincerely, Terry Hi: Thank you for your response.I think I have misled you with my description.

Is it the design that makes you think it would be his work? Actually, the marks you have mentioned don’t correspond to Petersen’s. Is it the design that makes you think it would be his work?

The pin that I have has the initials E.S.B. in sterling silver on a sterling silver back. The matching earings have the initial B.in sterling silver and appear to be on a copper coloured back. Are you interested in seeing pictures of these with the possibility of buying them? Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, Terry Hi:

I've put up pix of the only other two Petersen jewellery items I have. I don't think these are all that uncommon. Thanks, that’s great information!
