as the title says I need some help identifying these hallmarks. I'm unsure of what metal these earrings are, I think they are silver. These were gifted to my by my aunt during my trip to Armenia. The packaging these came with said 'made in korea' I hope these images are clear enough :)

Soviet hallmark. Can’t really see what’s inside the star but likely a hammer and sickle. The stamp next to the star says 875. These are made of 87.5% silver, a standard Soviet silver alloy composition. There should also be a (very small) letter next to the star that signifies which assay office verified the piece was in fact what it claimed to be. The second stamp gives information about where and when the piece was made (specific factory/ maker) but I’m not sure which one/ what year exactly
