Pendant - 14 kt. Rose gold

An exceptional and highly collectible pair of vintage Soviet hollow "Ball" earrings (traditionally known as "Samovary" or "Shary"), crafted in 14-karat rose gold. This lot comes in museum-grade condition, complete with its ultra-rare original factory paper tag (passport of the jewelry piece). Details: * Material: 14kt Rose Gold (Soviet 583 standard). * Hallmarks: Clearly stamped with the Soviet hallmark featuring the five-pointed star with the hammer and sickle, alongside the Riga assay office letter code. * Maker & Date: Produced by the famous Riga Jewelry Factory (Rīgas Juvelierizstrādājumu Rūpnīca), Latvia, USSR. The earrings bear the factory maker's mark ".9Rj" (.9РЮ), which precisely dates the production to the year 1989. * Weight: 5.98 grams (matching the exact weight stamped on the original label). * Dimensions: Total length is approximately 3.5 cm; ball diameter is approximately 1.5 cm (please refer to the photos with the ruler). * Condition: Excellent/Mint vintage condition. The hollow gold spheres retain a perfect, brilliant mirror polish with absolutely no dents, deep scratches, or deformations—which is extremely rare for hollow items of this age. The classic Soviet lever-back ear wires (hinged closures) are fully functional and secure. * Provenance: Comes with the original factory paper label attached, featuring the factory logo, article number (APT. 109019), exact weight, gold purity, Soviet retail price, and the official state quality control (OTK) stamp on the back. A stunning, wearable piece of Soviet design history and a top-tier choice for collectors of high-quality vintage jewelry. Worldwide insured shipping with a tracking number.
