[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9603597, member: 2844"]Ditto. As komo said, you can see a white (or silvertone) metal coming through where the goldtone metal is worn away. The textured back is another sign that it is costume jewellery. I believe that makes it post-1950, but costume is not my forte, so the costume joolies may have to correct me. The sort of 730 mark is not typical of gold purity marks, but it is of manufacturer's codes. And as you can see, it was cast the same as the manufacturer's name was cast, so not stamped/punched like a purity mark. That said, it is a very nice bracelet, inspired by Renaissance jewellery.[/QUOTE]
