How do I tell if this bracelet is silver with bone?

It is bone, but not likely to be silver.

 

Agree.

How do I tell if this bracelet is silver with bone?

by asking us !!

It's bone...and unlikely to have any silver content !

 

These are typically Indian exports. Mass-produced costume jewelry. The metal is often brass (although yours doesn't appear to be.) Lots of similar to be found on the internet like this one. Seller dates it to the 1960s but that is not correct; they're more recent than that. Two women of great style, Nancy Cunard and Diana Vreeland, wore ivory cuffs (which yours mimic) as signature accessories.

The metal on the OP's bracelet was sold as "white brass" in the 80s, i.e. a nickel alloy. I'm old enough to have bought my share brand new. OTOH it's just as well it's costume, since there aren't any problems with selling bone unlike ivory.

 

I'm a new member trying to post in the jewelry forum, and there's a message that says "you don't have sufficient privileges to post here." So I'm posting here, trying to figure out what I've done wrong. I've looked through the help and introduction pages, and saw the tutorial on how to post a new thread, but can't see the link!

 

Yancy - You should have received an email from the admin that you needed to reply to so your email address would be verified. Did that happen? Did you reply?

 

Yancy -
I know there are parts of the site you cannot read, so I have copied below more information about the Registration Confirmation process, in case you have not received the email I mentioned above.

"The forum software automatically sends the request for email confirmation when a new member registers. And if that member ask that another request for confirmation be sent to them because they didn't get the 1st one, then the software automatically sends you another one. Point is - the emails are sent !

But here's the issue - if you didn't get the 1st one, you're not going to get any others either. And this applies to everyone who has this problem.

What happens is this. The emails are being sent to you, but they are simply not getting to you. Why ? There are several possible reasons.
1 - the emails may be in your SPAM folder.
2 - your email provider may be blocking emails from Antiquers because they think the emails are SPAM.
3 - the email program (software) that you use may be blocking emails from Antiquers because that program thinks the emails are SPAM.
4 - you may inadvertently be the reason yourself because of the settings you are using on your email program.
5 - it may be the anti-virus or security software you are using, and or the settings you chose when you set that program up.

Any and all of these may be the reason the emails do not get to you. And not a single one of them have anything to do with Antiquers, nor can the Antiquers staff do anything to correct the problem because quite simply - we do not have any control over any of that.

The only person who can fix the problem is you, the member, the person who is having the problem. And if the problem is being caused by reason #2 or #3 even you can't fix it because you don't have any control over those. But you can fix the problem if any of the other 3 are the cause. And no, I can't help you figure it out - only you have ability to figure it out because only you have access to all the settings you have to check to be able to figure it out.

But what you can do is this - you can choose to use Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo - they all work. Members who use them do not have problems getting emails from Antiquers.

And if you don't like having more than 1 email address to check every day well that's pretty easy to manage too. Just have emails sent to your new email address forwarded to the email address you like to use. Then all your emails end up in one place."

 

I think this bracelet is of bone which unlikely to have any silver content!

 

Welcome @Yancy and @Alex Kim .
Yancy, I hope your problem is solved soon.
