Rose gold bracelet with Eastern European marks?

This set of marks is at one end of a 3,5cm wide rose gold bracelet that has what I would term typical mid-19thC Russian engraving and a row of slots for threading a silk ribbon thru it. My reference books on Eastern Europe and Russia are really rather weak, I think - which is why I have drawn the marks as best I can.

THe first mark is mostly rubbed, tho at the top one can still make out that it is either the upper portion of a cursive Y, or a stylized bird or some kind. The marks are intaglio on a pointilist background- raised stippling - the second-last mark looks remarkably like a Greek theta although it might be an upper case A, the last letter is a Y or V. (Please ignore the vertical line at bottom) I have a number of family items that supposedly are from Russia, including a rose gold ring with a cursive zey on the bottom outside of the shank. IT's the gold items that are giving me trouble.
