Featured 2 old? silver bracelets

The first one is 32 grams and has "S9 King" marked on the back but I cant find anything related to this.

and the second one says "925 mexico"

Would anyone be able to point me in the right direction to figure out more about these? Im curious if the first one has opals on it

 

The first one is mother of pearl (shell). It's either Native American or a good wannabe. I've seen things similar to the second one before. The mark usually means factory-made and not horribly old, probably 90s or later.

 

Ahh i understand, is there any way for me to figure out if its real?

 

No question that it's real silver. Real NA requires researching the marks.

I usually start here, and then research more.

The S9 means size 9, correct? Doesnt look like that website has "King" anywhere. Thank you for posting though

 

Agree, definitely silver. Recheck Evelyb's website link. I found it there! It's sorted by first initial, so you have to search under "S". Keep scrolling down until you find S.King.

Not too much additional info, but here are a few Ebay auctions with the same signature:

That is it! mystery solved, thank you very much. I know value and pricing isnt spoken about much on here but how do you generally value these pieces without looking up previous sales? I bought this one for $50, they had other pieces as well from s king but i wasnt sure if they were worth anything

 

I would love to price things on vibes only (and it seems a lot of dealers on certain sites do ), but you actually do have to look at previous sales. Go to ebay, use the keywords you've now got, and hit the check mark for Sold.

And keep in mind that unrepaired damage will significantly drop your price. You could get a quote from a jeweler, but it may not be worth it for resale afterwords.

 

Thats great to know, thank you
