    I picked these up from the lady with the street stall yesterday. I've ruled the cross out. Not silver. Tiffany made some very similar ones but think it would have been marked Tiffany co if it was. I can't find anything resembling the coin/pendant. As for the brooch, not sure if it is vintage or modem reproduction. The metal seems very malleable and bendy.

    Are you thinking of the Jean Schlumberger cross for Tiffany's?

    The little medallion is Japanese, depicting Emperor Jimmu, legendary first emperor of Japan. He was assisted in his battles by a mythical crow, the Yatagarasu, depicted perched on top of his bow.

    The character under the "of" was translated separately as "foundation" - perhaps related to National Foundation Day (February 11), a celebration of the founding of the Japanese state.
