<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ownedbybear, post: 124724, member: 29&quot;]Those clasps are common on both older and more recent Turkish and Middle Eastern jewellery - and some Indian. The style looks 1960s or so to me, but it&#039;s fairly timeless. You do see a lot of mesh work in the UAE souks. I suspect someone had this made in the Middle East or India, or bought it there. I&#039;d not be in the least surprised if it&#039;s gold. I think the A18 is the clue to that, too, wish I could remember where I&#039;ve seen it. </p><p><br /></p><p>That garnet bangle is indeed 19th C and has Bohemian stones, probably Gablonz. They&#039;re sometimes silver, ocasionally vermeil or gold and sometimes simply brass - imported to Britain in the thousands. I like them very much.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
