<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 11375295, member: 5833&quot;]I&#039;m pretty much with everyone else.&nbsp; This was not a pre-assembled charm bracelet, as some are.&nbsp; The charms were acquired &amp; added individually over time for their meaning to the wearer.&nbsp; Collectively they are not going to have enough special appeal for someone to pay more than melt value for them in order to have the bracelet intact.&nbsp; And as you already know, the fineness of the bracelet does not guarantee anything for the fineness of the charms.&nbsp; Anything not marked would need to be tested.</p><p><br /></p><p>Definitely think the individual charms have potential to sell for more than melt value, either as pendants or to someone who collects novelty charms, like the telephone.&nbsp; There are so many more out there in silver; gold may have its own market.&nbsp; The jump rings attaching the charms to the chain may have been soldered shut for safety.</p><p><br /></p><p>The chain bracelet looks like a very nice one that even some men might wear, except I imagine it is sized for a woman.&nbsp; About 7.5 inches?&nbsp; You would need to check out the secondary (i.e., resale) market for similars that have sold to know whether it is likely to sell for more than melt.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t think there&#039;s anything that would add/subtract value in knowing when exactly the bracelet &amp; charms were acquired.&nbsp; It&#039;s more about what&#039;s going on now.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
