    I thought maybe they were dragons and Phoenix. I had found one similar on line. However, someone mentioned they looked like palms. With better focus I'm thinking I see a sunflower? Has anyone seen one like this? 71284309-8E7F-46E9-AD6F-3F88F32953A8.jpeg 2923C8AC-B76D-4A9D-A5EB-9278FA4C8BA7.jpeg F740ED9C-A248-4972-A197-42100BAC4C57.jpeg 1433C468-35DF-4AD4-BDF9-38426378DCD7.jpeg

    Bamboo.:playful:
    Different plants. One could be a sunflower, although a chrysanthemum is a more Chinese flower. There is the bamboo I mentioned in the other thread, the prunus(?) blossom I also mentioned, and something that looks like a lotus bud rising up through waterplants.

    I would check this carefully for a 2nd mark. That looks like a heavy piece, at 18K will have some nice value.

    The safety chain with the heart and key is unusual. If original to the bracelet may be a clue as to maker.

    I'll keep looking for another mark and see if I can find anything about the safety chain..

    @Laura1969 , pretty sure this is a "7 flowers of Hawaii" bracelet. I have an 18k in a smaller size, circa 1980s. This one is older. I cannot see ALL the panels, but I can see what LOOKS LIKE - Proteus, Bamboo, Monstera (not sure about this one I cannot see it well enough), Plumeria, (edible) Fern, can't see anymore.

    That would explain the not entirely Chinese plants.:)

    @Laura1969 , please check the clasp for a marking. I will check my own bracelet to see if there are marks on it, but it's surely a different maker. I've also seen "Ming's" stamped on similar 18k pieces. IF you have a Ming's - your's not a fake - and it's worth a lot more money than unmarked. (Most Ming's marks are faked, that's why I mention this!)

    I do think this is a Hawaiian flowers, and worth quite a lot to a Hawaiian gold joolz collector, more than you may realize. I am jelly, but pleased to get to see one, because now I can always aspire to find one like this! Someday! :joyful::kiss:

    I've checked the clasp and can't see any markings. I did get a photo of the other panels. 7E1AFCA8-9C30-4BA6-8630-3D885823CC70.jpeg EB417CBA-D61B-4C8C-A035-8B4668F6216B.jpeg 7E1AFCA8-9C30-4BA6-8630-3D885823CC70.jpeg 82AB4DC0-2A84-42F1-8506-A2EA54ED501C.jpeg B437390E-7840-4750-8B47-24D445EEEBF1.jpeg

    I saw one similar called Four Seasons, not I don’t know if that’s correct.

    That was my first impression, except I thought of the Chinese plants symbolizing the four seasons.:)

    I never found a Jeweler Saranti.
    Using the term Four Seasons paneled 18k, brings this and other designs shows more with the heart and key chain. Most were described as Chinese export, so it’s really not definitive.
