Featured Bracelet and 925 Necklace

Bought together with the antique scales.

I know, not the most amazing finds, but I liked the design of the bracelet, and am curious to know if it's got some age or not.


And the necklace is 925 silver.

The maker is hard to read. I think it says UNIO.
And is the stone malachite?

 

It is sweet, and the stone looks like moonstone.
Not very old though, the costume joolies can pinpoint the period.

Yes, malachite.

 

Could also be glass made to look like moonstone. Wait for the costume joolies.

 

That was my initial thought.

 

The chain and the pendant didn't start life together.
And it looks like the cap of the pendant is not silver. These tumbled stone pendants are on the cheaper end of stone pendants.

 

Seconded, or thirded. The chain is mass-produced Italian. THey're still at it, exporting to the whole world. The malachite pendant looks like one done in some kid's "stone tumbler". It was a hobby for a while. The findings are always costume. The bracelet... 60s maybe, into the mid-70s. I'd bet on the "stones" being glass. In that setting and that shape, they usually were.

 

I hate box chains...... one dent...one weal link.....and POOF ..it's gone !

 

Correct

 

Not be be disagreeable but the bracelet to me looks older, at least 1970s, maybe earlier. May be silver, have you tested it?

 

Nope, but the seller said it wasn't silver. And based on a few scratch marks, I think she tested it.

 

Ok, thanks. I still like it!
