    Hello! I bought a metal wrist bracelet at flea market. I tried to find it in Google, the closest looking like one was from China. Could you please help me to identify it and appraise sale price? No marks or stamps. I guess it´s quite old and has patina.

    Welcome Rushaaniya, I love the bracelet.
    The floral motif is very much like the jewellery made by the Yao Hill Tribe in Thailand. I haven't seen this particular one before, but I have a different model Yao cuff bracelet myself with a similar floral motif.
    The silver is likely to be sterling silver.
    The Yao originated in China, so there could be a connection. Also, modern Chinese manufacturers could be copying the Yao style, just like they copy anything else that will sell.;)

    Thank you for your comment! I noticed signs of welding on the bracelet, so you might be right about modern copy. I have no idea, if welding was used in the past to make this kind of hollow bracelets. Or it can be a repair, there is a small crack, you can see it on the picture.

    I didn't mean that yours is a copy, it is the real thing imo.
    Maybe you mean soldering instead of welding? Soldering was used in the past as well, but I don't know how old you think your bracelet is? It looks no older than the second half of the 20th century to me.

    Yes, it can be soldering. At first i thought the bracelet is from late 19th century, but the ornament made of flowers makes me to think about 20th century period as well.
