    Hello my friends, this sterling bracelet looks like it has 2 S's on back, somewhat faded.
    I never seen a bracelet resembling native indian with 0925.
    It test positive for sterling but who could have made this ? I never seen one with hearts, and especially like this one.

    Anybody know if it was custom made for someone, or made for special occasion ?

    Thank You

    Hey Billy....you're right to question this.
    There's a lot going on that I can't place with authentic SW Indian manufacture.

    They don't 0925 on the outside of a bracelet.
    The snakes....I don't know where they'd be from.
    A raw piece of what looks like heavily dyed branch coral...
    Is that a piece of Turquoise.....or what ?
    The way the flat wire is put on between the two bands.....does not seem right.
    Even the back of the center silver disc is ...unknown to me !

    This be one of the few instances where I'm coming down on the side of ......
    Non Native Made.....
    but where it's from....????
    is it even Sterling...???

    It's a mystery to me !!

    Doesn't look like "SS",looks more like 2 numbers upside down and backwards since it was stamped on the inside of the base plate,not the surface which is showing.

    It is a lovely bracelet, Billy, but I'm with komo, not Native American.
    The hearts are often seen on Mexican jewellery.
    The silversmiths of the Southwest generally use Mediterranean red coral, which this is not. It looks like Asian dyed coral.
    The turquoise is of a kind found in both the US and China, but much more in China, in Hubei province.
    My guess is Asian made.

    That is just my guess, Billy, I can't tell for sure. It is a nice bracelet, but not Native American.

    Regardless of origin, lots of "Wow!" factor with that one, Billy.

    I never seen a native one with 925 either. So I hope it sells for a decent price

    Agree that it’s Asian and strictly meant to deceive. Not NA or Mexican. Be careful how you word your listing if selling on the internet and I think you’d be better off selling it at a flea or swap.
