This bracelet was given to me almost 10 years ago. It has always been a puzzle because, although it appears to be a bit rough in some ways, there is something special about it. Recently I asked a jeweler pal to take a look at it and she (to our great surprise!) stated that it is 9k gold with real sapphires and diamonds. We are puzzled by the 9k content and it is rather brittle - little pieces broken off: the safety chain loop & a connector link.
Any thoughts out there among my jewelry collector colleagues?

Hello,
Are there any hallmarks? And if so could you get a photo of them?
Hello Agram.m. No maker's marks at all - that is why this is a mystery. While it is a sweet bracelet, it is not elegantly wrought as one sees in - say bracelets such as yours. That is why we were surprised that the stones tested as real sapphires. DD@Phila
Still I like it. It is probably European and from 1920-1950 I think.
Yes, A, we agree that it is probably European. The design is rather sweet I thought - reminds me of bows with sparkly centers... DD@Phila
