Antique Russian Imperial 56 gold fly earrings bee insect bug USSR Soviet
Beautiful Imperial russian 14k gold antique earrings. I bought these for my wedding from an antique dealer in Ukraine. One of the flies had come off, and I took it to my local jeweler to have it reattached. When they were polished up, they looked like yellow gold. So these are probably going to look best cleaned to a nice bright finish (and an even color all over).
In addition, the jeweler who reattached the fly, put it on crookedly. The fly is not absolutely straight.
This didn't bother me, but I want to note it. Also, that fly is missing a leg.
I've tried to show the hallmarks. The 56 is pretty clear, and I was told there was a hammer and sickle marking but I can't make that out.
