    Picked this from an out of town Goodwill. Body is hammered. stone is black. Has a second stone on the other side, as well as symetrical decoration. No marks. Any possibility this is solid? Pic is before polishing, which it did nicely.

    It has a vent hole inside, but appears to have been made in two pieces. The hearts look like they were applied after the bracelet base was made. I have no idea what it's made from.

    It is made in two pieces and has two vent holes. It is silver but may be plated. No evidence of such when polished though. I am thinking maybe India or Morocco? Google lens doesn't bring up anything exactly like it or even close enough to attribute.

    I'd say definitely test it, and India for best guess as to origin. It looks like theirs.

    I agree, it could be India.
    Not Morocco, different style, and they don't chew betel.;) Those heart shapes are stylized betel leaves, a design motif seen throughout South and Southeast Asia.

    The bangle is upside down btw.:)
