I believe these are Russian from the backwards R but cannot find out anything else. What would the #2 stand for? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Also these are very lightweight, the amber almost feels like plastic? Thank you!

I tried finding out too, 3 or 4 years ago while researching this pair - evidently by the same maker. Mark is quite similar except on mine there's the reverse R followed by K, followed by a zero - 0 rather than by a 2. Looks like the 3rd symbol is a variable. Having no clue of an association between the reversed R and Russia, (what is it BTW?), I decided they must be from Poland - maker unknown. Your post has rekindled my curiosity - particularly about the zero versus the 2. What could that possibly mean. I hope this post helps and that someone comes along who recognizes the mark.

Those are really pretty Russian Amber Earrings. The Cyrillic Mark is for a Guild Factory. There might be a Link in the Research Pinned Topic.?

At the top of this board you will find some pinned topics. They have little blue stick pins in the upper right hand corner of the topic. One of them is this topic. http://community.ebay.com/t5/Jewelry-Gemstones-Board-Group/Research-amp-Reference-Links-Library/gpm-...
There is some great information found there with links to other great sites for information on many jewelry subjects.

One of the replies here says what the letters stand for and give some indication of why the last digit might be different:

Yes, that is great info! Thank you, figtree3. The link is very helpful. It should help with OP's question, and a mystery for me has been solved.
