<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 274834, member: 2844&quot;]It is Chinese mass production and likely to be a fake mark on base metal. It is not old, and they are still making these.</p><p>The characters of the mark are raised, part of the production process, which means it is not a proper Chinese silver mark.</p><p>I can&#039;t tell from here if it is silver, plated, or base metal. All I can say is, the mark is not a Chinese silver mark, and most bracelets like this are base metal, so it is best to test it.</p><p>The base metal most of these cuff bracelets are made of is often called Tibet silver or Miao silver.</p><p>There is an elephant cuff bracelet like yours among the cuffs you can select here:</p><p><a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/Hot-selling-New-Tibetan-Tibet-silver-Totem-Bangle-Cuff-Bracelet-/182170375792?var=&amp;hash=item2a6a335670:m:mw8ZiN4fPel6T5BCZqZBe4g" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/Hot-selling-New-Tibetan-Tibet-silver-Totem-Bangle-Cuff-Bracelet-/182170375792?var=&amp;hash=item2a6a335670:m:mw8ZiN4fPel6T5BCZqZBe4g" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/itm/Hot-selling-New-Tibetan-Tibet-silver-Totem-Bangle-Cuff-Bracelet-/182170375792?var=&amp;hash=item2a6a335670:m:mw8ZiN4fPel6T5BCZqZBe4g</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Chris, with jewellery like this it is best to go to eBay first, it is where a lot of fun Chinese jewellery can be found. You can see if it is mass production from the number of listings, and it will save you a lot of research time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
