<p>[QUOTE="George Chaney, post: 4518989, member: 19137"]I think the stones are suppose to be turquoise, but as [USER=2844]@Any Jewelry[/USER] said, they could be glass. I've had a couple of bracelets similar in style that were unmarked but tested as solid silver... I think it was 900 or 800, can't recall. If I were looking at it as a "buyer", my initial assumption would be silver based upon the locking pin, but then looking further at the panels, I might hesitate because of the "glossy" look on the panels that could just be lighting, poor photo quality, bad cleaning job etc. Me personally, I would pass on it unless it was cheap. For me, it would be a gamble piece and the missing stone makes me think the stones are glued in.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
