<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 4478244, member: 5833"]These are probably made other places as well, but lots are made in Israel for Christian tourists to the Holy Land. They come with variations in the design & different color center stones. I have a pin/pendant marked 'Jerusalem/Silver/999' & a pair of earrings that are very similar, simply marked '900'. Israel does not have (or at least didn't used to have) any national standard for silver fineness or markings, so you see all sorts of things.</p><p><br /></p><p>Mine have stones that generally look purple but that are actually color change sapphires.
