    Found today at boot sale, I have questions!
    It is marked BA800 and GM, I have found similar online with the same marks stating GM is Gustavo Martinez of Mexico but the marks don't look Mexican to me they look Italian? Confused now.

    Also, one end of this still has a lot of the gold wash on it and the other doesn't, it looks like someone has tried to remove it and given up halfway. It needs cleaning, is silver polish safe to use on it as I would rather keep what remains of the gold wash intact if poss and am worried about taking more off with the dirt.

    And lastly, I am thinking it is c1920s - 1930s am I close? Thank you!

    I'd use a Sunshine cloth, nothing more. I have a couple of cameo bracelets, similar. Mine are Italian. I'd agree on the date.

    Thank you all! I had been wondering if mine had once had wirework around the frames and it seems likely that it did. Still pretty though!
