<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lucille.b, post: 4597881, member: 51&quot;]I&#039;ve seen this design before and the metal always looks pretty much like yours does. It may be that yours has dulled a bit, but I don&#039;t think it is missing plating. Here are two found in a quick search:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]408640[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]408641[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Agree.&nbsp; That last link has a different shape and if I&#039;m looking at the photo correctly it looks like the extender chain is soldered on to the back of the link with the missing stone.&nbsp; So you sort of need that link for the bracelet to function.&nbsp; I&#039;d leave any repair to the buyer.&nbsp; This is such a common style (I&#039;ve seen at least three of this exact pattern w/saphirets in discussion groups over the years) it could raise red flags and result in a SNAD return if not disclosed if a link was missing.&nbsp; I&#039;d leave it to the buyer.</p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe lucky that stone was gone --- guessing that&#039;s why it was up for sale![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
