Found a Bracelet this weekend in a small trift store. No clue were its from

[tamrock]

I think this is from China or some far away place in Asia. I'm sure it's solid silver, but not tested it yet. It has all detailed hand wrought silversmith work on the outside and a little chasing on the inside. The stones may be Persian turquoise. No Marks at all on it and I consider that a good thing for real silver that finds its way to many thrift stores these days as many think on marking the heck out of .925 and steriling items in recent times. I've never seen this style of jewelry in a trift store before. Some I see on BAY that come close and from China, but not all handmade like this. I gave twelve and some change for it. Anyone have a clue as to where this came from? ..... Thanks!

Magnet, yes have a little pen clip scew driver with mag in the end at all times. Not magnetic...Looking with a loop I believe the dragon eyes may be very small pieces of gold. I'll get it tested soon as I can and update, just not sure where to file in at with my tiny jewelers file for a test spot at this time. I'm also out on nitric A. I've been hitting the scrap buyers acting like I would like to know what they'll give and I'm just looking for a free test, if they make an offer I then know for sure its good. They sometimes suspect thats what I'm up to and file any place they please and deep. Their way to pay me back as they know I'm just going to put it up for auction for more then they'll give me.

You piece reminded me of a bracelet I found for .50 Cents a sale. Looked like this one. I ended up selling it for around $150.

Nothing to add but good eye and good find.

The carving on on the inside of the bracelet looks east Indian, some similar at Exotic India (Indian Artwork - Gold Jewelry Paintings and Buddha Statues - Exotic India Art).
