Magnet test it first, if it sticks at all, junk. If it seems heavy like it’s made of lead then maybe. Good luck, test kits are cheap, any jeweler can tell you also.

Did magnet test all good and it doesn't smell like copper coins. Under a loop the stone has been properly sent and NOT glued in. I mean it defo looks good

Pearls are gritty on teeth too

I could only be more certain if I held it in person. Take it to a pawn shop, PM buyer or jewelry shop thay buys and ask what they'd give for it. If its solid gold they'll make you an offer. If it's not solid gold they more than likely won't be interested in offering you anything. I'm unsure by the picture. The little mark looks like it was maybe stamped on a base metal first and then a gold plating was applied over it from what I see. Still I could be wrong.

I too was questioning the hallmarks on the piece, why do they look so mottled?
Makes me think they were intended to deceive from the get-go.

Great suggestion Tamrock!

All teased today with xrf scanner,18ct. The diamond is real too. If I could hunt down a maker that would be cool 😊

 

[ty watts]

Oooo they offered me 450 I'm looking around first for the maker tho. Google image search give some expensive results but can't find the same one.

Where's Red Coat's opinion!

Good 4 U! I would have taken the $450 and shouted "Start the Car!" to my wife!

Well, it won’t help much here.

It’s a nice find but a very common design with multiple minor variations from a large number of makers, including foreign imports. So, unless you can find an exact match, there’s not much prospect for identifying the maker when the marks are unreadable. Equally, without identification, there’s then no additional premium for a prestigious maker and its value rests solely on what can be determined.

Note that many of these bracelets are rolled gold and an XRF scanner won’t tell you if it’s 18K plated or solid gold. Note also that moissanite will pass thermal conductivity testing but not electrical conductivity testing, and lab-grown diamonds will pass both tests.

I’m with @Terry Soloman ...if you’ve been offered $450, I would take the money and run.

I don't know if this will help you but, I found a similar bracelet in the water in 1985. No stones or pearls, just a very flexible 22k with round balls where your pearls are. It was a hollow, flexible piece that had to be the higher karat to prevent it from breaking when spread open to put around one's wrist. A highly alloyed piece would tend to snap. My guess is that it is a high Karat gold. NICE find ! Congrats !
p.s. I found it on August 11th, my loved one's birthday. I gave it to her when I returned from the island.
