I purchased this pearl brooch today. The pearls are absolutely real (teeth tested) and they have an absolutely amazing luster to them. I noticed there's a hallmark on the back, kind a looks like an M with a clamshell? But I've noticed on several of MikiMotos other brooches that it's usually an M with an S for silver not stamped 935.
Does anyone have any more information on this? Or I can identify the makers mark if it's not MikiMoto?

I'm not familiar with the '935' mark but some research states this is a slightly higher grade of silver than the 925 and the 935 is usually used in central Europe: Germany, Switzerland, Argentina, and maybe other European countries.
I believe Mikimoto jewelry is made in Japan and I cannot find any information that states Mikimoto uses the marking '935'.
I did find one 'similar' broach listed for sale on Etsy:

if you want more information, I would suggest you try asking your question on a jewelry site:
Your piece is stamped 925, which means sterling silver. Im not sure if it is MikMoto
