[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 282864, member: 2844"]Some older Native American jewellery is made from re-purposed silver. That is seen in older ethnic jewellery in many parts of the world. And of course old Navajo pieces are rarely signed. To me they are signed by beauty, that's good enough for me. Written Cyrillic looks a lot like Latin script. The second last letter in the long word looks like a Russian [SIZE=3]H[/SIZE], our n. I was struck by the word 'cinto' (sinto), which I know from my scant knowledge of Romany as 'saint' (in Romany). It is probably cmto or something else, but Romany did borrow words from the areas the Gypsies passed during their long travels from India to Western Europe, Russia included. Yes, it is entirely handmade. This one is of a similar style and age, check out the price:wideyed:, I don't know if the seller actually wants to sell.....:confused:: [URL]https://www.etsy.com/listing/542685066/antique-56-gold-cross-russian-empire?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=antique+russian+gold+cross&ref=sr_gallery_4[/URL][/QUOTE]
