[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9433054, member: 2844"]For once Google translate is right.:woot::woot: This is classic Caucasian niello, meaning real Caucasian, not the American sense of the word.;) A lot of these niello items were made in Kubachi, in Dagestan. I agree with Holly, it looks like different pieces were soldered together. The clasp is also much more recent than the Niello parts. Maybe all family pieces that meant something to the wearer. The rose looks out of place on a Dagestan piece, but could be there for sentimental reasons. The mark JewelryP noticed doesn't look like a Russian mark, but it could be where an earring back was attached, either a post or a screwback. Yes, they often used kindjals on their jewellery. Martial lot, those Caucasians.;) I have a Dagestan niello buckle which closes with a little kindjal.[/QUOTE]
