[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 1440828, member: 2844"]Love the earrings Xristina. My guess is Slavic Balkans, the S92 mark is found a lot on vintage Bulgarian jewellery, as are those blue glass cabs. The style is influenced by styles from the Mediterranean Middle East. The Ottomans transported styles throughout their empire, and certain Balkan motifs and techniques can be found in the Middle East, and vice versa. Which is why jewellery from parts of the Balkans can look Asian. Because of the style 'fluidity' the origin can be difficult to pinpoint, but lantern earrings are more a southeastern European thing. They can be found in Bulgaria, Bosnia, Albania etc., and even in the Albanese influenced part of southern Italy. The pretty silver and ceramic bracelet looks Chinese to me. Asian Fever doesn't seem to be around, maybe [USER=9000]@Silver Wolf[/USER] can read the script.:) It is bound to be something auspicious.[/QUOTE]
