[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 2245895, member: 2844"]It is gorgeous, Nick. The Polish love their amber and their Art Nouveau style, and kept making AN style jewellery ever since the period, with only slight changes in their choice of designs. This is an example of the fairly recent Polish 'Art Nouveau' style, very delicate small leaves on the usual Polish bracelet frame. The clasp is of a type used for these Polish bracelets. All my Polish bracelets have that frame and clasp. 925 indicates that it is definitely not Communist era, but pretty recent. No silver would have been allowed to leave a Polish shop in the Communist era without the proper assay marks. Besides, they have only recently begun to use .925 fineness, for international trade. From 1920-1963 the highest fineness was .940, after 1963 it was .916.[/QUOTE]
