[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 10227589, member: 2844"]Thanks. The 3 in the weight mark refers to 3 units of 5, so 15 grams. It is a dainty bracelet, but is it only 15 grams? Pity, so no fineness mark, but there is the Dutch weight mark. The weight mark shows that it was presented at an assay office. It could have been stamped with the weight mark only, because if it is 800 silver it is below legal fineness (BWG zilver, Beneden Wettelijk Gehalte). Not legally recognized as silver, so no legal fineness mark. Stylewise I would say early 20th century. Possibly made in Germany for the Dutch market.[/QUOTE]
