    This silver bracelet is a more recent find, but also an interesting design.
    Each link is like a figure-8 with a studded belt around the middle.
    I found no hallmarks nor ID markings of any kind, but it does test as silver.
    Can anyone tell me anything at all about this link style?
    THANX!

    Old links, new clasp and jump rings. I think that's part of a much longer Victorian chain. I've similar albeit not identical, with original clasps.

    @Any Jewelry ?

    Those figure 8 links with a band around it are seen a lot in parts of India and the Middle East. In ethnic jewellery terms they are called figure 8 links.;)

    The studs made me wonder in that direction...
    Any clue as to age? A classic design maybe still being used recently, or older piece with more modern clasp?
    No way of knowing, is my best guess - but I know nothing, anyway!

    I think the clasp is contemporary with the bracelet, so not very old. 1980s-90s maybe.
    Traditional jewellery is still made, as is new jewellery that has traditional elements or inspiration.
