✅ SOLVED Can anyone read what this says?

I found this cross on a recent hunt. I believe I can make out HANDMADE STERLING on the back but can't read the words above it. Can anyone make it out and also does anyone know anything about this type of mark?

Have you tried putting a piece of paper over it and rub it lightly with a pencil. Might be able to get more out of it.

Thanks for the suggestion, just tried that but without success. Even took a close up photo of the attempt but can't make anything out.

I'm not sure where you are hunting- but keep swinging, you are hitting the good stuff!

Try tubing some white chalk on it should make it readable😀

I think it may be "LEONORE DOSKOW" - I found this ebay listing using the handmade sterling words and creative googling. And here is a bio about her too-

They say to dust something like that with flour and carefully wipe excess . . .

I can make out most of that name on Kapidr's pics. Great ID Bramble!
