    Today I did a cursory search of a house clearance I start tomorrow.

    I found gold & silver jewellry, cash, some silver medals and these bead bracelets.
    I was only there 10 minutes :rolleyes:, its a 3 day job.

    Each bracelet is the same length.
    The opening part of each clasp (the claw)? on each one is marked 925 and test positive for sterling.

    Anything special ?

    Very modern lobster claw clasps, they're a mix of semi precious stones and glass. Probably made in China. Couple of quid each at a car boot. They'll sell fast.

    Or they restrung some of those "power bead" bracelets from the 90s. Those started out as semi-precious stone beads and the later they got the cheaper the beads got. A beader would pay you 5 quid the lot to mess with them. They might go for a bit more singly, especially if the clasps are sterling. Those things ain't cheap, and I'd swear I'm seeing a silver mark on the part that folds up.

    Too small to photograph with what I have at the moment, but the parts marked in red are "925"

    A lot of contemporary findings from China are marked 925. And they are silver.

    Agree, these are brand new or close to it. But if you do boot sales, definitely put them out.

    I take things like this apart for using when I go fishing - cheaper than buying plastic beads at the fishing tackle store!:woot:

    Sterling clasps like that run about $2.50 each on Fire Mountain; they'd be more in a craft store.

    I think I've paid about three quid, so that sounds right.
