Would love to help identifying. I believe that the blue stone ring has a Horseman on the side which is the Russian gold assay but wanted to get input from the group.

    I'd be thinking French marks on the ring, from the shapes, but can't really see them. No idea on the rest.

    I think you mean the St George assay mark for Moscow, 1741-1898. It was used on both gold and silver. I don't see it on the ring though, and I'm with evelyb, it looks like there is a French lozenge-shaped maker's mark.

    We need better pictures.:) As for the earrings, they are pretty, but too generic in style to find an origin.
    Is the hook on the first earring one of those murderous back to front leverbacks?:nurse: If so, it is probably Continental Europe.
    We had/have proper front to back leverbacks too, which is my favourite earhook type.

    The ring bears French marks: lozenge shaped maker's mark and the boar's head for silver.

    Eagle eye kyra:wideyed:, your eyes are clearly better than mine. I saw a blob with a thin stripe in it, no boar's head.

    As I know it well, I go with the outlines;) It can be tricky if punched on vermeil as it can look like the eagle's head if looked upside down, which is the case in these pics!:joyful:

    Those poor puppies need a proper cleaning and polishing, it will help make the marks easier to see.

    I saw that the boars head was a mark from 1838 until the present. Is there any other way to date?

    The style is Art Deco, imo.
