I am hoping the image of them is appearing here!

They are silver and mother-of-pearl, bought in a UK Antique store around 1982. The only silver marking is the numerals '925', which is on the back of the silver section that fixes onto the pearl.

It is a pretty good bet that "925" indicates that your piece is solid silver, 92.5% pure (sterling quality). Beyond that, it is difficult to say for sure where or when it is from. Is the 925 set in any kind of crest or shield? Are you sure there are no other marks?
