<p>[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 196869, member: 2844"]This is a mystery to me. This lovely heart shaped pendant or amulet case looks Kazakh/Turkmen. The heart shape is very Kazakh. It has classic faux granulation decorations of the area, and is set with lapis lazuli, which is also popular in Central Asia.</p><p>If central Asian silver is marked at all, it usually marked 925. This pendant has two marks, one mark is legible and has a T at the top, a sort of star shape with H and S next to it, the bottom shape looks like an amphora. The letters could be Cyrillic, Soviet era, or maybe the marks are import marks. I bought it in The Netherlands, but I don't recognise the marks as Dutch import marks.</p><p>Any ideas, please?
