I wasn't sure where to post this question but since it has possibly a NA theme, I am hoping the right experts can help. It depicts a bear, wolf...
Thanks for taking a look. So not NA inspired but more ancient tribal, forest dweller style. I can live with that. Appreciate the input.
I wasn't sure where to post this necklace but hoping this was the best spot. It has real feathers. The beads appear to be copper color ceramic....
Sorry, I took me a while to get back. Here are the results under black light. I think Komokwa was right, plastic. Thanks to everyone who took...
I will test it with a UV and let you know.
Tortoiseshell did run across my mind, briefly. I hope it's not that as I don't think I can sell it. So Mexican and Aztec according to what I...
I will look that up. As long as I don't have to say the words out loud, I should be ok. :) Thank you.

The outside still has a light gold color but the inside is a dull silver. I did polish it lightly with a sunshine cloth. I think it is sol old...

I will give that a try. Thank you evelyb30. The first bracelet I showed is very thin, very lightweight and almost has no gold on finish on it...

Thanks evelyb30, that was very helpful. I was hoping Ownedbybear would take a peek. I did a light polishing with a sunshine cloth and are looking...
Thanks bosko69 - what a stunning piece from Syboni! I hope mine are as old as I think they are.
And that is why I brought the question here. None of the bracelets are marked but I know prior to the late 1800's fineness was not required. I do...
Amazing, thank you mmarco102. I did a google search on them but the ones you listed did not show up. I guess I should have done a deeper dive...
Good morning, I hope you are all well and 2025 is being good to you. These three bracelets came in a "gold fill" antique jewelry lot I picked up...
Sadly I agree with the Nao and Lladro assessment. The first estate sale for my sister's estate just finished on Saturday. She had over 48 pieces...
