I found this very nice vintage sterling silver Egyptian revival Scuff bracelet Yesterday at my donation store, not so much luck lately for jewelry, every day I see new faces looking for Gold and Sterling jewelry, but again timing make me found this one as this bracelet just get release from processing when i am there in front of the showcase, the bracelet never get inside LOL.
10 Pharaon stand on the surrounding with 3 huge Aquamarine stone, also tiny little Sun and additional motifs compose the design design, lucky to grab it, nice addition to my bracelets collection.
The bracelet is 2.50 inches diameter by 1.50 inches wide
As always many thanks for your visit.
Egyptian revival flourished in 1920s during Art Deco period (Europe and America).
This bracelet is actually made in Egypt itself and if there are no European or American marks, it cannot be classified as Egyptian revival.Are there any marks ?
Dear IVAN49 yes it does have mark , 800 silver mark and something else.
I am at work now, later I will add picture of it for you.
Many thanks for your visit and comments.

Egypt had well established system of markings in Arabic.So,after all, fineness 800 may indicate European origin, but another mark is important.Try to take close up image of the marks instead of the 4th image.
And, by the way, sterling is just one of standards of solid silver, and being .925 higher than 800 but lower than e.g.French .950.
IVAN49, my apologize for the delay, health issue, my old body don't follow my life pace, i have to slow down.
When i purchase this bracelet i buy many other brooch's and pendants, the piece with the 800 silver mark was a brooch, i take a close up of the silver mark (.925) on the bracelet(4), was kinda dark from underneath, so i scrub the area(little to much) oh well this will tarnish again for sure, but we clearly see it.
After close examination other mark are hit and scratch, nothing noticeable as maker mark.
