Enjoy these and store as a collection but not sure if they belong together or where they came from . 3rd bracelet in pic 1 has a mark: ALP Italy. All 3 of these have peg closure. 2nd bracelet has grape clusters - maybe coral?
Butterfly in 2 and 3 is marked G. Pulloni Firenze 2x2" pin very dramatic w/brass camels. I wear it w/the link bracelet Pada or Paba - looks Mexican to me. Seen similar w/thin silver 3/4" links. This might have been remade - looks good as it is.
I know the camel earrings were bought in Morroco by my Dad around 1951.

such beauty!!!!!!!!!!!! love these:)
ALP is probably alpaca, or nickel silver. Do you know if some of the bracelets are from Morocco as well? That's a popular way to make bracelets in Morocco
Thank you - there are no other marks on the bracelets and I haven't found much about these in my research. I agree - they aren't sterling. The butterfly and camel earrings are a better quality silver but they aren't marked either. You didn't even comment on the leopard print fur pendant. How tacky is that? I don't know what happened to the matching earrings I had.
Thank you for your comments Bellin68 - you always love my obsessions and of course! that means a lot to me!
Thank you freiheit and blunderbuss2 for your loves. I would like to see some of your jewelry finds.
Thank you Phil, inky and toracat for your loves.
