[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9860459, member: 2844"]It is a lovely bracelet, but am I the only one who thinks this is actually a Czech bracelet? [USER=29]@Ownedbybear[/USER] , [USER=8708]@KSW[/USER] ? The cabs are Czech glass, and the marcasites, punched openwork backs (not filigree;)) and repoussé elements on the front don't strike me as Chinese. There are Chinese bracelets with similarly shaped panels, but afaik those have mesh or flat backs and intricate filigree and cannetille on the front. They are generally set with real stones. That is a costly process. It won't be as expensive to work with a ready made and ready plated clasp. But first you need to establish what the bracelet is made of.[/QUOTE]
