I'm not sure if I know how to post photos, so please bear with me! Has anyone ever seen this signature before? It looks so familiar to me, but am not finding anything online or in my books :(
Vintage costume jewelry...anyone recognize this stamp?

The photos are great. I'm bumping this back up in case one of our jewelry experts missed.

I have seen several 80's jackets/blazers with that mark. Dont remember the brand.... Givenchy Jewelry was spelled out....

It reminds me of the Genny logo. Versace designed a dress collection for them back in the early 70s, don't know if he ever did jewelry for them though.

Thanks for the bump and the feedback 
I've been pouring over my costume jewelry books and all over the internet without much success in determining who created these great earrings!
Back to the searching....

Hi, I was just familiarizing myself with the forum as a 'newbe' and came across your post. Your earrings are definitely by Italian designer 'Genny'. Possibly 1980s or 90s. I worked for Browns London for a number of years as a buyer. They had a Genny shop so I am very familiar with the logo though not the details of the stock. Other then the fact that the collection consisted of women's clothing and accessories including some jewellery.
Hope this helps.

I just sort of googled around and found someone that had a Genny logo scarf for sale from the 80s - the same font, everything.

"Arnoldo Girombelli was born in 1932. He founded an Italian ready-to-wear company in 1961. He named his new company "Genny" after his eldest daughter. His wife Donatella (Ronchi) Girombelli, joined the company in 1964. They also had a son named Leonardo.
Girombelli started up several other apparel companies, Byblos in 1973 and Complice in 1975. He put his brother Sergio Girombelli in charge of Byblos.
Genny's earliest working relationship with an outside designer was with the young, virtually unknown Gianni Versace who designed his first collection for Genny in 1974. Versace was also responsible for designing the early Byblos collections, a younger range introduced in 1973 to complement the classic Genny image..."
