Here is some information on the company:
During WW II, the jewelry-making towns, forced to convert to manufacturing munitions, were razed to the ground by Allied planes. Rising from the post-war ruins, several firms like Perli, Scholtz & Lammel, G Bunge, and Wilhelm Leyser continued the tradition from geometric Machine Age to biomorphic Fifties forms. A coat of counter-enamel applied to the reverse order of the piece was often the same color for each artist, which aids in identification, since many pieces were unsigned.

Perli Werkstätte, founded by Martha May in Schwäbish-Gemund in 1922, switched from manufacturing faux pearl jewelry to cloisonné enamel in 1935.... Matte enamelled silver or copper jewelry for men and women were signed "Perli", sometimes "handarbeit" (hand-crafted.) The counter-enamel could be glossy black or peckled grey.
