<p>[QUOTE="Brywil1970, post: 322641, member: 92"]Ok, I have researched the heck out of these and here is what I have come up with the spiked bracelets are called Gokhru and are from Northern India or Pakistan. The long cuff bracelets with red stones are called Turkmen or Turkoman and are from Afghanistan. I have had these x-rayed and they test above sterling at .950 to .960 silver. There is a lot of the Turkmen sold on line but they have a wide range and some are just silverplate. The price for "sterling" ones range from $800 to $1100. The Gokhru are harder to find asking prices or especially sold prices, but I have seen one for sale for 500 Euros. My question is is there an auction house that deals with jewelry like this that any of you would recommend?</p><p><br /></p><p>TIA, Bryan</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]107492[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]107496[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]107497[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]107498[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
