Featured Gold Plated Tennis Bracelet Maker Mark Help Needed

This tennis bracelet was never worn, as the tags are still attached. I realize the tag "Genuine Diamonds" is meaningless, as they are tiny chips. But I wasn't able to find the maker from the mark, which appears to me to be S and a delta or Delta S. The is also something at the very end of the clasp that says -25 (I think). The button of the clasp has a pattern (second picture). Does anyone recognize the maker?

 

I think it's the dreaded FAS - some Thai factory or another.

 

That's too bad. Fake all around?

 

Not necessarily; a lot of FAS stuff is sterling or gold over sterling. They weren't always too careful with the mark either.

 

Thanks. I misunderstood your comment. I’ll go searching

 

Here is info on the FAS mark:

The first line refers to the common misconception that FAS stands for fused alloy silver, which it doesn't.

 

Thanks so much for this. I think it will be helpful to others too who have this misconception.

 

I have a similar one, gotta check to see if there are any marks.

 

Good deal. I hope this post helps.

 

Yah, it looks a lot like the Asian ones that we sold at Fashion Bug years ago - $20 on sale...

Good to know. In my research I found a wide range of types and values. I knew it was costume but there are grades that’s why I asked for the maker.
