[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9433486, member: 2844"]The style is a generic style from Dagestan, it is not linked to a specific maker. As you confirmed, and I mentioned in my first post #5, Kubachi is the main silvermaking centre. In Dagestan all nielloed parts were marked. For instance my buckle is marked on both halves and on the kindjal closure. Because the triangular construction of gauntlett's brooch isn't marked, the marks that were originally on the kindjals could be hidden under the pommels of the kindjals. After all, the kindjals were cut in two, and put together in a different way. I doubt that the rose was made in Dagestan, I think it expresses a sentiment. So the ЯС mark applies only to the little disc, which was probably part of something else (earring?). Even if you know the maker of the disc, it doesn't influence any value it has. And let's face it, the original work on the niello parts is nice, but this is a Frankenstein piece.[/QUOTE]
