This has a Star in circle and small house in Hexagon 6 side stamp . It looks to have diamonds and a pearl on it .The Star mark can be seen on the second photo and house maybe seen on last photo .Very small marks and hard to take photos of. I tested this with iodine and it does not change color. I found the star mark on a page with Russian items.

Hi,
I think it`s not Russian (Soviet).
Embedded images of Soviet platinum and gold marks.

Very likely Spanish marks (pentagram in a circle and maker in hexagonal stamp).

Also the mark around the house is 6 sided but not a true hexagon shape with all sides same,it was made to outline a house mark that is taller than it is wide .

Hello again,
The anatomy of full Soviet set of marks is missing here.
Have it tested (there are non invasive electronic testers now).

Hi! I know it's been over a year or so that you posted about this brooch, but was there any definitive answer? I have the almost identical brooch to yours! It has a few more "stems" but it's the same construction, the exact same marks. This site is the only one I've found and I've been searching on and off for awhile I was so excited to find this! There are so many star in circle answers just wondering (also I think the other mark is for Austria for the crystals used)
Thank you! Tess
