[QUOTE="scoutshouse, post: 110515, member: 267"]I was following Yellowdestoyer's thread on Russian jewelry (again, whoa). The input on marks got me thinking about this again - I think I figured it out. Still isn't gold, and probably not of great value, but I love it and enjoyed satisfying my own curiosity! I recognized an empty pin online as a kilt pin, then started looking into Celtic/Scottish heraldry symbols and Pi signs - So I'm connecting Phi symbol with plummet and ram's head together as: The Golden Section (cosmology+building+measuring unit) with some kind of upright action/a virtuous person in position of authority. [ATTACH=full]27803[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]27804[/ATTACH] The stones I'm identifying as volcanic rock or African trade beads?? only because for a while I thought it might be a vintage piece by Robert Lee Morris - he designed a lot of jewelry (in the 80s) for Donna Karan - I thought this looked similar. I really don't know what the stones are, but included these images, since they turn out to be very collectible couture ($$) pieces someone else might run across: [ATTACH=full]27805[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]27806[/ATTACH] A little closer. The tiny divots (not in the images) around the findings look like glass chips (round). [ATTACH=full]27809[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]27810[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
