Necklace marked "Napier © F90" - the letter "F" stands for the season (Fall) and the number "90" for the year, so this piece is dated fall 1990. This is already the late Napier period, when they created more massive, decorative jewelry. Clasp with "Napier PAT. 4,774,743" - this is a US patent issued in 1988 (date: 1988-10-04) for a specific jewelry clasp mechanism, the patent was filed by the Napier Company.
