<p>[QUOTE="Jeff Drum, post: 330744, member: 6444"]When hunting down cameos to ask about, I came across this bracelet that I've wondered about too. There are no markings at all, so no clear indication of the metal or age, so I bought it as costume with a couple other bracelets about a year ago. But it seems better to me than that, and I think it has some age - possibly a ridiculous amount of age for the scarabs if they are authentic. Besides knowing when it was made and other history, one other thing I would really appreciate is how to open it up - if you recognize the clasp what I should do to open it since it doesn't open easily and I don't want to break it by stressing it the wrong way. Sorry the colors don't look great - in real life the turquoise colors are quite nice and close but not exactly the same for each of the bugs.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]110577[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]110578[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]110579[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]110580[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]110581[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]110582[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]110583[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]110584[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
