Message:: [QUOTE="Anna Johndrow, post: 2266822, member: 7900"]Hello again!  Still digging through my great grandmother's jewelry and would like your input on this bracelet. I received this bracelet along with a great family story when I was about 14. Apparently my grandmother had inherited it from her mother in law and was wearing it and lost it. There was great anguish and tearing of hair and it was given up as gone forever. Then, many years later my father was visiting the lake house while on a break from college and was asked to flip the mattresses. He found the bracelet stuck in the coils of the box spring (back in the day when those coils were uncovered). So, as a reward for that heroic find I was gifted it when my grandmother passed away. It was always said that the stones were pink spinel rubies. There are 16 stones, all of uniform size with slight variations in color intensity amongst them. It is my understanding that the metal is NOT gold, but something mixed with copper which makes it pinkish.  The bracelet has no makers mark. I wore it a lot until the safety chain broke and I have just never gotten it repaired. Any thoughts as to value? I am not interested in selling it, but would like to know its value. THIS I think my daughter will wear![ATTACH=full]256968[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]256969[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]256970[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]256970[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]256972[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
