[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 341406, member: 2844"]Agree, a very nice gift. The mark is 紋銀 or '[I]wen yin[/I]', which is mainly used for 925-935 silver fineness, so the bracelet is sterling or slightly higher. It looks like the mark is stamped, not cast. Cast marks indicate fakes, which abound in Chinese jewellery.[/QUOTE]
