    Would anyone know about the age, metal used, or style of this bracelet? Thanks!

    Etruscan revival charm/fob bracelet, probably 800 silver filigree from Italy.

    Very interesting, thank you all for teaching me something new today! How would I go about cleaning or polishing this?

    Are you planning to keep it for yourself & would like it to be shinier? Or are you preparing to sell it? If the latter, I would leave it as is. Buyers sometimes prefer the look of age. Personally, I also like it as is; you can see the intricacy of the metal work better than you could if it was all bright & shiny. It's not as though it is absolutely black with tarnish.

    No marks on it. I will be selling it, so I won't do much to it then. Thanks again!

    Old microfibre cloth and breathe on it, or a Sunshine.

    Gorgeous filigree bracelet, MML.
    It doesn't look like it needs much of a clean.

    I am a bit of a purist, and wouldn't call open filigree Etruscan Revival. That is a term for sellers, not to describe the actual style.
    I would simply call this an Italian filigree bracelet, which to me is perfect in its own right.
    It is related to the exuberant filigree pendants that are worn with and on Italian folk costumes, like these sleeve buttons from Sardinia:

    To me Etruscan Revival is Classical shapes, like urns, sometimes spheres, and elegant, thin dangles, which can be decorated with granulation and filigree on a closed ground:

    It can even be without granulation and filigree, as long as it has that Classical look:

    I areee, any. But Etruscan revival is a winning search term on etsy (at least), even though few have the granulation i'd associate with Etruscan jewelry.

    Would you also consider it Peruzzi style, as you mentioned on Bev's thread? That was fascinating and a great thread :)

    Not really Peruzzi style. Yes, it was a great thread, a journey halfway around the world, and different thinking caps.;)
