    Hi everyone :)

    I'm hoping someone will know what this bracelet is made of. Initially, I thought the beads were pearls, but they look too matte. The gold is 14K. If you look at the backside of the main cabochon the metal cut outs appear to have been done by hand as they are a bit jagged. Please share any thoughts about the possible age of this bracelet. As you can see, the bracelet is broken in one area and the string is very dirty. I'm trying to decide if this bracelet is worth repairing. Any info about it would be useful!

    White or angel skin coral, no doubt for me!:cyclops::woot:
    For age, I think 1960s/70s, check for sold items to have an idea of value and ask your jeweler the price of restringing to get an idea:)

    Angel skin coral, it seems to have some pinkish bits, although the photos seem to be taken in artificial light, which makes a good id difficult.
    Worth more than cultured pearls.:) I agree with 1960s.
