<p>[QUOTE="IvaPan, post: 7750147, member: 78949"]Komo, thank you! My guess is before 1989 based on the pendant, which was customised old silver coin of the Kingdom of Bulgaria, with attached bail. During the communist regime it was not possible to buy gold or gold jewelry free in the shops, it was illegal, so people had to be inventive. My guess is the chain was smuggled from abroad without a pendant and the pendant was customised later here by a not very good jeweler. Usual story, but the mark on the chain is unusual. At least for me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
