[QUOTE="GaleriaGila, post: 90961, member: 993"]Found this... makes me bet this was way pre-80s or even 60s. Also, I found a couple of statements that their Zodiac series was BIG, and Googling Cini Zodiac Series brings up a good deal of stuff. Anyway, here's what I found... "Founded by Gugliemo Cini in 1922, the Cini company has long been associated with intricate jewelry, primarily in sterling silver, and all of splendid quality. The designs display strong classical and renaissance influence, undoubtedly inspired by the rich art and architecture of Gugliemo Cini's native country, Italy.
