<p>[QUOTE="KikoBlueEyes, post: 1473096, member: 8363"]Under the tutelage of this board, I am getting better at spotting the good stuff without, in this case, a big sign saying "<b>925</b>". Actually, I found the 925 after I bought the bracelet and was examining it while waiting to go into a movie theater. I saw the "Mexico" stamp at the store, but bought it because it was small, simple and had red bits as adornments. I have small wrists, so this is important.</p><p>I am hoping the unusual clasp will tell me more about its origins and place in history. The bracelet has a hinge and the curved, elongated V shape of the clasp fits into the opening with a bar that holds it into place. You have to lift up the V shape to unclasp it. After an number of tries, two similar pieces came up with the search term "arrow" clasp, but they are Taxco pieces and mine does not have a Taxco stamp. Any ideas for search terms? I'll search to my fingers fall off. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p><a href="http://www.myclassicjewelry.com/Shop/Taxco-Sterling-Inlaid-Gemstones-Arrow-Bangle" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.myclassicjewelry.com/Shop/Taxco-Sterling-Inlaid-Gemstones-Arrow-Bangle" rel="nofollow">http://www.myclassicjewelry.com/Shop/Taxco-Sterling-Inlaid-Gemstones-Arrow-Bangle</a></p><p>The second one is a dead link.
