[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 652011, member: 2844"]Ashley, I can't help you with the slide charms, but I can help a little with the crosses. The one on the left is a reproduction Ethiopian Coptic cross, they have been very fashionable for some time now. Here are some old ones (not mine): [IMG]http://api.ning.com:80/files/S6leBpJ8ovATkXcfAQ50nTFacEyfJ5UasXRXPUEnvNOT7CqlzU8pWjJ4Ee*vJ-4tdeIn9caaaUWI2B*2jznrXA-JbeqZzqM1/DSC08924.JPG?profile=RESIZE_930x&width=737[/IMG] [URL]http://ethnicjewels.ning.com/photo/old-ethiopian-rings-crosses[/URL] You can see that the old ones are smooth with wear. The old ones are usually silver, the repros can be silver, but many are base metal. The other is a representation of an Early Medieval Northern European cross. The original is probably a stone monument, like this Viking hunting cross from Middleton, Yorkshire, England: [IMG]https://s14-eu5.startpage.com/cgi-bin/serveimage?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.pinimg.com%2Foriginals%2F8d%2F08%2F4e%2F8d084e6ce6c3f45ee9b0f7feb8939f8f.jpg&sp=eeb1b6cd00ffd5252fa65556aa5b1f05[/IMG][/QUOTE]
