Oh, gosh, Indian? And I saw so many people calling similar things Afghan, or Kuchi. It appears both of those have large flat ornaments in their...
or a nearby country/region? This necklace tests as sterling or a bit higher on all the pieces. The chain is a woven herringbone type, maybe...

This pendant tests as jadeite and has a 14K bail. I can usually find the "good luck" type symbols but I don't know which way to hold this to...
PS - My reply was to the "Sometimes it takes a village" comment. I appreciate the insights on medals/awards vs. decorative medallions. Either...
Sure glad I stumbled into this one!

Probably too hard for us to ID without more info or familiarity with Brutalist jewelers. Thai jewelry has been marked for decades, not t all of it...
PS - I love the new avatar! A vintage fashion print, perhaps?
Hello @Any Jewelry --thanks for your reply! I should have been more diligent in sleuthing. The Italian attribution didn't feel quite right as I...
Thanks to you, both! I am used to newer Italian silver having "Italy" stamped somewhere on the piece so that being absent threw me off. The link...
They were nearly black when I got them, not sure it was entirely intentional but I couldn't see the mark without a little cleaning. It appears to...
Thanks, also, @Shangas . I tried a dry cloth and the Never-Dull on the frame which had the least oxidation and didn't get any improvement. I'll...
Great! I'll go out and get some of the nasty stuff and give it a shot. Funny story: the friend who sold me this as scrap has ammonia, I recall...
