I have two necklaces that both claim to be Vintage Russian pieces of jewelry but I have always wondered about more information on both
The cross looks exactly like the one in these photos (the photos are from an ebay listing of a cross almost identical to mine) I do not know the era or anything like that but unlike the ones in the photo mine has a 925 sterling silver and some sort of makers mark stamp (unidentifiable) Mine also does not have a stamp on the clasp/part that connects the cross to the chain.

The diptych claims to be Soviet era and contains the hammer and sickle star but also has the 925
What makes both of these confusing to me is that both would likely coincide with the Zolotnik system (I could very well be wrong about this)
Any help in identifying these or finding any info about them would be very appreciated. I am very curious.
