<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 4228311, member: 5833"]Brass has its own distinctive smell, which you can bring up by rubbing it vigorously against some fabric to create a little friction & heat. This is not silver, but silver also has its own smell. I have never detected a scent from gold. I expect the bracelet is brass, maybe the type known as pinchbeck. An auction house might call it yellow metal.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
