Russian?

[u/tatagonia]

Any ideas on this maker’s mark? I was told it is possibly Russian but nothing further. I’m quite curious. It’s beautifully made and I love the stamp.

14K gold. Made in Russia after 1990s, from around 2005 to our days. Modern.

Thank you for the knowledge!

yes. it is modern russian. made after 1994. it is either 583 or 585, 58.3% or 58.5% gold, equivalent to 14 karat gold in the western system. i think it is letter Д in front of the woman's head, that's code for the assay office that assayed this piece. i don't know if russia kept old soviet codes so i am not sure which assay office that is now.

РДБ mark is the maker mark.

Thank you very much! Yes the 585 was throwing me off as I was expecting to see 583. Appreciate the insight!

585 for sure
