Very beautiful, Frankie!
I am not sure if it's Kazakh - the rosette symbol is widely used across cultures I believe. But unfortunately, I cannot offer an alternative opinion. If there is Cyrillic letter, it might be placed also in the wider Caucasus region... but that is no more than a wild guess.
Wherever it's from, it's most gorgeous and looks as if it has some age. Lucky you!
Thank you, Betty.
I agree with you, which makes this hard for me to identify. Particularly since these symbols are frequently shared with Dagestan.
It`s the particular shape of the floral rosette that makes me eventually plump for Kazkhstan.
Not today, A O. But I did spend time today amalgamating two amber necklaces I already had. Maybe I`ll put up a photo of it soon.
Glad you like this bracelet here.
