I have a pair of gold(?) earrings with an amethyst (?) pendant drop, nicely crafted, not karat mark that I can see, but stamped JED. Any ideas on maker?:rolleyes:

A quick search for JED jewelry results with several results. See for example: http://brooklynjewelrystores.com/jed-jewelry-corporation-of-america-inc.php
