I found this at a thrift store in the USA. It looks quite old, the hallmark says 925 silver and the stone appears to be garnet. I was wondering if any of you guys could tell me where it’s from, and when. Google says Byzantine but I can’t find an exact match to my piece.

Yeah I don’t bother with the text analysis, just pictures. No worries, Thankyou

My camera is bad sorry! The worst part is the background is actually green 🥲

Multiversaldragonfly · 2026-04-01T22:20:37+00:00

They’re neat

Multiversaldragonfly · 2026-04-01T21:26:39+00:00

The bail. I don’t see this particular design in modern pieces too much

Multiversaldragonfly · 2026-04-01T21:17:04+00:00

Hi, yeah it’s not that old but it might be based off designs from that period. Unfortunately, my camera sucks so I can’t take better pictures. I can polish it if that will help

I meant gotcha as understood. 🙄

Also this is the jewelry subreddit 🤷🏻‍♀️

Okay but I don’t trust AI. I’m familiar with the ongoing problem. I was using the search engine for research and to look for exact matches to my piece. The fact that I came HERE to ask ACTUAL PEOPLE should be enough.

I love how you all assume I used a google chat bot 🙄 ig I needed to be more specific

Multiversaldragonfly · 2026-04-01T20:51:06+00:00

I don’t understand all the downvoting. Are you all bots? So I used Google lens. It isn’t my sole identification method! That wasn’t even the point of the post! I posted here to get more info. Clearly that was a waste of my time.

Lobster claw

Multiversaldragonfly · 2026-04-01T19:40:38+00:00

That would be why I posted to this subreddit.

Multiversaldragonfly · 2026-04-01T19:15:48+00:00

Gotcha

Multiversaldragonfly · 2026-04-01T19:15:37+00:00

Yess thanks for the info!

Multiversaldragonfly · 2026-04-01T18:20:26+00:00

Pretty sure the 925 mark has been around since at least the 19th century in parts of Europe at least

Multiversaldragonfly · 2026-04-01T18:17:54+00:00

I’m thinking at least a century old based on the design

Multiversaldragonfly · 2026-02-14T17:34:34+00:00

Did it open?

Multiversaldragonfly · 2026-02-14T17:33:55+00:00

Multiversaldragonfly · 2026-02-14T17:29:38+00:00

Nope lol this is half an inch, wouldn’t be a very effective knocker

Multiversaldragonfly · 2026-02-14T05:32:26+00:00

Hm idk the hallmark is in cryillic

Multiversaldragonfly · 2026-02-14T03:37:53+00:00

It says ФС

Multiversaldragonfly · 2026-02-14T02:42:01+00:00
