    Bought from a Charity shop. The first pics show how black it was, I don’t know if the mark is a makers name or a bit of as S for sterling, but I’m pretty sure it is silver. I’m stuck on the rocks, think the middle one is pyrites, the small green triangular bottom one and the top pale green ones are only giving a 3 on my diamond tester so likely some calcite. Could the other be turquoise? I’m not sure how modern this is, has anyone come across these please? Thanks.

    Very pretty -- and it looks even better after you cleaned the silver. I'm not very helpful in stone identification, but of course somebody will be along soon.

    Interesting design, and you did a good cleaning job:)
    All I can tell from pics is the middle stone is pyrite:cyclops:

    Looks Mexican in design to me--maybe from the 1980s/1990s. It's always a bit challenging to identify stones from photos, but I'm going to suggest peridot for the trillium (triangle) cut stone, then perhaps a really nice piece of fluorite, then pyrite druzy, like others have said, and then I'm a bit stumped by the fourth stone. Doesn't look yellow enough for citrine.

    Oh, and I think this type of bracelet is called a cuff bracelet. A bangle goes all the way around the wrist in an unbroken circle.

    I think it is very interesting.
    Probably from a New Age/Metaphysical store touting crystal power. So newer, as in the last 20 years or so.

    We had Druzy mentioned in a thread a little while ago or maybe it was in the Finds and I hadn’t heard of that term and looked it up.

    I agree it’s likely to have been made in the last 20 yrs or so. Someone made quite an effort to produce it. It’s too chunky for me so it’s gone onto the pile. Thanks to all for your input.

    That would be a keeper for me. That cut stone is much like a lot of silver coming out of Indonesia.

    The blueish stone might be chrysocolla.

    It does look like it, just found some rough pieces. Thanks Elizabeth.

    It was a bargain at £3.99. Never come across chrysocolla before.
