The second picture that you have labeled Bracelet 1 - appears to be Chinese enamel, 1930s. Only a guess. Any marks on the back? or at the clasp?

 

Hi, Thank You for your response. Unfortunately I can’t seem to find any markings at all, however the box it came in as shown on the picture seems to be Greek.

 

Bracelet 2, tongue of clasp.

 

Welcome to Antiquers Kirstycoop.

 

Sorry, I'm not seeing this.

 

Hello, Kirsty. The shadows make it difficult to tell: is Bracelet 2, the one shown first, made in 3 colors of gold? In my experience, which is not as great as that of some other members, this is or was popular with Italian jewellery manufacturers. Can you find any more marks on that one, in addition to the one I enlarged for you?

 

The first bracelet shown (No 2) has all the signs I look for an indication of gold. The safety chain and clip as well as the clasp where there is a mark. Nicely made, looks partly rose gold. Suggest you get it tested.

 

The bits I can make out of the Greek seem to indicate a company in Athens, 'Diakosmetike' & stuff about Greek workmanship & handmade in Greece. Are you sure the box is original to that bracelet?

 

Hi, thank you all for the info, bracelet 2 is the one shown first for some reason they have swapped. I’ve been told bracelet 2 is gold, white gold & rose gold. There are marks on the bracelet so i’ll Borrow my dads magnifying glass & update tomorrow as the camera just won’t focus.

The 1st bracelet has always known to be in that box, however I can’t be 100% sure as it’s from around 70 years ago minimum. Thank You.

 

Thank You Judy x

 

Something about this one reminds me of those enameled Russian/Soviet salt cellars.

Maybe Cheryl @DragonflyWink has some ideas.

 

My very first thought too!

 

That is because it is Uzbek, Central Asian. Uzbekistan used to be part of the Russian empire and later the USSR. Uzbekistan is in the middle of the Silk Road, which also explains the confusion with Chinese enamel.
These are some more traditional Uzbek bracelets, twin cuffs:



A different style, also Uzbek:

 

That’s lovely, Thank You so much x

 

Regarding the first bracelet, the clasp reads K9 & the opposite side reads AD 375 & 2 symbols

 

Those marks indicate 9Kt gold; .375 is the decimal equivalent of 9K (9/24).
I don't see 9kt gold very often, that may suggest it has some age to it.

Hi, I have also found another symbol saying 875, could this be the Kt of another one of the golds with it having 3 different types of gold in it? X
