I have a Silver Brooch that has such rubbed marks on it, I cannot work out what they are. I think it might be an IONA with a black onyx stone. Can anyone help identify any of the marks please?

Hjaltasteyn Ltd is actually a trading name for Shetland Jewellery. Founded in 1953 as Shetland Silvercraft, the company, now known as Shetland Jewellery, was established by Jack Rae. Over the years, his son Kenneth took over the reins and recently, Sophie, a Jeweller with over 20 years of experience and trained in the Weisdale workshop, assumed leadership in late 2023. The company is known for its handcrafted, Scandinavian-inspired jewellery, using the lost wax casting process, and offers a lifetime guarantee.
