Opinions required please on initials.
« on: Thursday 29 September 16 15:49 BST (UK) »
Hi  :) could I ask your opinions on the initials on the pendant please, I think it could be a "J" and  "L", just after second opinions  :)

Best regards as always

Hi, thanks Josey and Carol, I can now see the "S"  ::) it does look like J and S the more I look at it.

I don't think it's a J. To me it looks like  either a T or an F. 
Agree re the S .

Hi,

The letters are most definitely J & S.

Most of the swirls are from the S, the top of the S goes back under the S and then under the main stroke of the J before splitting in two. The right hand bit goes round and above the J, whereas the other continues for a short distance before ending. The bottom part of the S swirls under the bottom of the J before returning under the S.

I hope the above makes sense, as I found it a little tricky to describe! ;D

Kind regards

Hi, thank you for all of your replies, I tend to agree with the J and S, after reading all of the posts  :)

Many thanks for the link Gadget, I have added it to my favourites list, I'm sure it will come in handy  ;)

Regards always
