I don’t know much about stones so I can’t tell if these are real but they are very beautiful. What do you guys think? does the style look familiar to anyone?

    The stones look real to me. None is terribly precious, so no reason not to use them.

    Keep looking at it w/ a magnifier & see if you can find a mark.

    Stones do look real, semi-precious but real.

    Carnelians, agates and maybe moonstone. It could do with a gentle clean, those will sing then. Won’t hurt if you wash it and use a soft toothbrush with washing up liquid, just make sure it’s dried properly. Brass.

    I can’t decide where it’s from. @Any Jewelry ?

    Marks can be really,really tiny and hidden in odd places-good luck !

    Dear Joolies-Would you call this piece Mid-Century or (sophisticated) Brutalist ?

    Quite similar on the face of it- except for the 18K.

    Yeah also the way the stones show from the inside of the bracelet.. even the closing is similar. But different ball game.
    I can’t find any marks

    I think some kind of “ethnic” origin, but I’m trying to decide where.

    Ok so I could not wait and I cleaned the bracelet and MY GOD. The amount of dirt that came off was unreal. It looks very different now. Almost silver.

    Don’t worry I didn’t break it. I bought it like that

    Very cool. I agree with Ownedbybear, this feels ethnic.

    Does the bracelet come in two pieces and then hook together with a pin?
