[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 384523, member: 36"]Thanks! It not only looks real, it feels real too, but I still have to test it because the color doesn't look right. Then again if it's silver made for the Chinese market they may have used a different alloy than things meant for us dumb Yankees. One Toledo/Spanish bracelet, one wanna-be amber (I has me doubts), a Peruvian souvenir bracelet, the acorn one with enamel acorns (one missing), a Czech glass bracelet (purple stones) and that Peruvian cocktail fork.

It's glass and random metal with no marks whatsoever. It doesn't feel like a Czech piece, but if someone paid the factory to make it that way it could be Czech as well as anything else. And yes I know that, but someone else might not. This is the souvenir of Israel box I hauled it home in. I knew what it was the moment I saw it, but most folks would have to read the lettering.
