    Great job again, kyra.:happy:
    And a gorgeous bracelet with very elegant lotus flowers, worthy of kyratisation. Probably a 925 mark, and probably Indonesia, with that beautiful repoussé. Could you show us the end bits?
    Great deduction, Bronwen.:pompous: And mother and child are very sweet.
    You are very creative, but not devious.;)

    I think Indochina, it is hallmarked with the french boar's head INSIDE one end and a maker's mark in a losange Inside the other end... Impossible to get a neat pic of these :inpain:
    This is puzzling, as normally the marks are on the outside, plus it isn't all silver, only the repoussé! The "frame" shows evidence of heavy plating on maillechort.
    Surely for solidity, but it shouldn't have been hallmarked as if it was all solid silver:bucktooth:

    I read this too thread quickly and thought maybe it was saying she used Gorilla Glue. Or maybe it held a cautionary tale of monkeying around with jewelry. But I’m sure after she was done she examined her results and exclaimed “foiled again!”

    Of course, Indochina makes sense, there are often similarities between Indochina and Javanese/Madurese/Sumatran art. All with elegant lotus flowers and scrolls.
    Those French marks, I know.:rolleyes: But at least they mark their silver. Well, nearly always....
    No, it shouldn't. Maillechort is 'nickelsilver', right?

    Cambodian repoussé usually shows acanthus leaves, Vietnam loves bamboo, but maybe this isn't a generality:confused:
    Don't know for sure if it is nickelsilver... it looks like what is under plating on used forks and spoon...:meh:
