Not if it's Russian. I have one of those paper pasted on wood icons of St Michael and he's shown slaying a dragon - it's in Revelation. Why they...
That's St. Michael on the outside. The stones around the top are rhinestones. Beyond that... dunno.
I have a pin sitting here that's a piece of amber in a silver mount. Someone superglued what looks like a small hardstone cameo in the center;...

That base doesn't say amateur hour. I'd bet that the ceramic part is mold-made, but the painting was done by a 10 year-old! The bear was...
There has to be a story in there somewhere.
It could be 1950s too, but the shorter they are the older they are. People call some antique bracelets children's jewelry. Necklaces too. Some...
