Bracelet in silver with King George V - (1865 - 1936)

Quality? Wanted (in the US)? Rare? What do you think about it? Thanks.

 

Silver threepenny pieces which would have had more value before they were made into a bracelet, sadly.

 

I remember my late grandma had one. Weren't these things really popular many years ago?

 

They must have been,my grandma had one in Cuba made out of gold coins that my grandpa had given her,sometime in the 40s-50s. They had to leave everything behind (and run for their lives) when Castro took over,and that necklace and bracelet was one of the very few things she ever admitted missing a lot.

 

Yes, I've noticed that over at Numista. But people into jewellery don't seem to care all that much about these things. It's in silver and they like it? They will buy it.
Not that I paid much above scrap value and I like it.

Prices out there aren't that bad:

It's a matter of finding the right person but that might take some time.

 

Those bracelets with the coins were a hot souvenir item in the 50s in lots of countries; I have a couple myself, but they're costume.

 

still....a nice bracelet !!!

 

Some of this British coin jewellery ended up in the Low Countries at the end of WWII, when British soldiers gave them to Dutch and Belgian sweethearts. It probably happened in other countries as well.

There is still interest in coin bracelets. I have sold Dutch coin bracelets to people with Dutch ancestry in the US. The Boho (Ibiza) crowd are into coin jewellery as well.
Are there any silver marks?

 

No, no silver marks but the rest is also in silver. I will offer it on a few sites and will see what happens.

Ali is selling cheap copies as well and as expected.. scammers selling them on for big bucks.

 

That's the way it often goes.

 

Sold after being online for less than an hour on a local site. Waiting for the payment but looks ok (as far as her profile goes). Made €15.2. Which is fine considering the initial 'investment'.

Going to go international the next time with a higher price.

 

Congratulations, Rin. Thanks for letting us know.
