@reader, I so appreciate your opinions on this pendant, and the time you spent to get other opinions from different sources. I probably won't be...
Thank you, reader, I appreciate your comments.
Thank you, stracci, for mentioning the name change. I read that in my research but didn't think to search Kewa jewelry. I searched Google images...
Before I posted this I searched "Santo Domingo" on this forum and found a thread from 2016 that may have answered my main question about this...
Thank you @Hollyblue for your patience in explaining this to me. I have some vintage pieces with what I thought had original hand engraving, but...
Thanks, Holly, the engraving on the heart pendant looks more crude to my untrained eye than on the money clip. Did the person who copied the heart...
Thank you @Hollyblue for that explanation. To my untrained eye the bubbles look like light reflecting on lint. I guess I'll have to go over my...
I like this money clip, but can't help with who would have made it. I would, however, like to learn more from @Hollyblue about how a person can...

Very interesting...thank you again, AJ. It could have been purchased by the original owner as late as the 1990s. She was a teacher who travelled...
Yes, they are nice. I'd be interested in seeing a photo of your Modernist one if it's convenient.
I was referring to the B-213 mark shown in the second photo and wondered if a second letter is missing since it was stamped so close to the edge...

Thanks Komokwa--If the first cross is Mexican, it's probably 1980s or later, rather than 70s, since I think the way it's marked started in 1979 or 80.
I also just noticed that what I labeled the back of the Mexican cross shows the front (or better side) of the dangles -- I should probably reverse...
I realized I forgot to use Google lens for the marcasite cross, so just found one that's similar and identified as Marsala.
Is this first cross a Mexican wedding cross? I used Google Lens and that's the closest I could come, but the examples shown had different motifs...
