    This bracelet was a birthday gift from my family, antique market find. The seller also said that the back was cut and done by hand (no stamping etc.) , and I guess he was right. No marks, and I guess silver and the stone might be malachite? Very pretty and heavy on my hand. The bracelet was damaged and also repaired in the past. How old is it? Dont know - I am only guessing by the style - 19th century?
    I would be very thankful if you have any additional info on this piece.

      Simply beautiful! I agree with valentino97, it doesn't look like malachite, possibly the stones are green chalcedony.

      Hi lentilka, your bracelet looks to me to be Austro-Hungarian, if that is the case the Austro-Hungarian empire broke up after the First World War which would have been 1918. Your bracelet could be earlier. It's very pretty piece.

      Thank you, Efesgirl and everyone! "Because She's Efesgirl" will be my motto from now :P But still. I soo wish I knew the construction settings etc. better - it will come with time hopefully!
      :DDD
      I googled green chalcedony and it looks very similar indeed!
      Thank you a lot for your help!
      Peasejean - this is very possible. Slovakia was once a part of Austro-Hungarian empire - Czechoslovakia started 1918. To this day Bratislava is full of memorials, signs, statues in german and hungarian language, as the city was once barely slovak. Bratislava is on slovak -austrian borders (so close that in fact, many people from Bratislava shop their groceries in Austria, or buy houses in austrian bordering villages, as it was natural a century ago).

      I lived in Bratislava for a short while, it's a beautiful city! I hope to go back some time.
