Featured Roman head, pearl ? Costume ? Bracelet

Hi guys, something I bought on ebay this morn

Sold as a turquoise (not)costume bracelet (£8)

Might very well be costume, but thought I would take a gamble

Looks to have open back bezels

Haven't received yet, but would appreciate your opinions on what you can see by its construction, any good signs ?

(and I'm bored and need your stimulation)

 

Or bad signs

 

It looks like the bracelets that have been made in Greece over the last few decades. Maybe @Ownedbybear knows more about it.

Will this help?

 

thanks Aj, just what the doctor ordered stimulation overload

 

i think the coins are supposed to be (page 42) sorry cant find an easier reference

probably mickey mouse type coins though, probably nothing on the other side of them

 

I think Greece is a good call. It may be low grade silver and the pearls may well be real.

 

thanks obb, its all gonna be down to the first touch of the pearls, hoping they are cold

will post pics when it arrives

 

You don't want cold, that means glass.

 

the way the little pearls are secured ....leaves me scratching my head???

Oh...wait.........that's just dandruff !!

Stimulation , you say...??......welllllllllll.....

OK !

 

I think they generally are real, cultured of course. The coins are Mickey Mouse coins, but they look pretty in the bracelet.
