This mark is the signature stamp of American jewelry designer Lois Hill, whose collections are widely recognized for their intricate, hand-wrought sterling silver construction. Hill's designs draw heavily on ancient world jewelry traditions, and her production has long centered in Bali and greater Indonesia, employing local master artisans to execute complex weaving, scrollwork, granulation, and filigree techniques.
Pieces bearing the 'LOIS HILL' mark are typically substantial in weight and feature complex textural surfaces, such as braided link chains, cut-out scroll plaques, and substantial toggle or box clasps. The signature is usually stamped cleanly in sans-serif capital letters on a flat cartouche, end cap, or the reverse of a central decorative component.
In addition to the 'LOIS HILL' maker's mark, authentic pieces from this workshop will almost always be accompanied by a '925' standard purity mark and an 'INDONESIA' or 'BALI' country-of-origin stamp.
