[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 2808335, member: 2844"]Welcome Aigi. Your grandmother's unusual bracelet is from Libya, it is known as a tortoise bracelet. Seen from above the five spikes are like a tortoise's head and four feet. I can't read the marks, but there is bound to be an assay mark and a maker's mark among them. Libyan silver is often .900, so 90% silver, which is a very good fineness. It is possible your grandmother never went to Libya, Libyan jewellery is also found in antiques shops in Egypt sometimes. No wonder, they are pretty rare.[/QUOTE]
