A beautiful 1" wide unmarked silver bangle - so gorgeous , probably never worn. When I got it I did a quick dry clean w/qtip. Learned my lesson not to clean the patina areas. Seller said this was from Tibet. Any help?

Fantastic bracelet Mary, really lovely flower design. A very exotic background from the artisans in the mountains of Tibet, kudos on a super find
Thank you for first loves Gudrun and Watchsearcher. And to Jenni for commenting right away about this. I love ethnic jewelry. This was a perfect for me.
You are very welcome, Mary:)
How was your trip?
I thought that was your wrist my #1 Mary, and a very pretty Bracelet adorning it! :^D I hope that it's not Tibet Silver, but real silver, I don't know if you saw that post about Tibet Silver, I'll give you a link! Thanks for showing! :^)
Here's the information about Tibetan Silver my #1 Mary:

I hope your Bracelet is not Tibetan Silver, but real Silver. It doesn't change how nice it looks, but I think you should have it checked for Silver content! :^)
Ha Bill are you talking about the scaly one or the cactus skeleton - ha ha - both old fossils! I will check, I have a metal kit somewhere in this sorry mess....and thank you very much for the link. I didn't pay too much and love this bracelet.
Gudrun, I had a wonderful trip to Sweden! Finally have a working computer so will be posting a few relevant pictures. There were SO many great museums!
Thanks friends for your loves - Fort, Thomas, Scott, Kevin, Broochman, pleinair!!
Well you always have my love, my #1 Mary, I just forgot to click it! :^)
Lovely type of filigree. Looks antique in a nice boho/etnic way. Beautiful!
This is a new style for me, how does the clasp work?
My gut says Asian, but more likely Thailand than Tibet. Not sure, but love the craftsmanship and the look of it. Thanks Mary.
Bill - thank you! I am hoping to take a weekend up your way in January. I wish it could be this year but plans for family time in VA and TX....
Elisabeth - It' definitely has the boho vibe.
Liaa - no clasp and yes it looks like it could be from Thailland. Nice hefty beautifully crafted bracelet.
Thank you friends for your loves: Thomas, aura, Kevin! Sorry if I missed someone...
You did a great job on the cleaning! I had a little pill box with these same flowers, dogwood, I think, and on the bottom was stamped 800. I don't know where I got the idea it was from Germany, but ??? This has the Tibetan look to it though. Very nice!
Thanks Share, I only did a gentle clean on this. It isn't a cheap tourist item, it's well crafted, strong and gorgeous. XOXO
Yes it is lovely! And it's silver, inexpensive... maybe, cheap... nah! ;)
SOOO,GORGEOUS!!! I’ve learned to live with dirty jewelry and just stare at them for a few days. I too have made mistakes with cleaning too soon as I they arrive. Enjoy wearing it!
Share - Thank you, pretty great isn't it?
ofwhatiam - Thank you fellow road trip lover (ha ha, that sounded a little weird, I just meant I read your profile that you enjoy road trips - so do I!) This bracelet was a unique online find. And, agree with you - just look at it for awhile and then if you really want to clean....well, that's up to you.
