Hello, I have a question about a bracelet that was given to my wife by her great-grandmother about 45-50 years ago. It is silver cuff style and has a flower or sunburst design in the center and engraved symbols on each side including the thunderbird, crossed arrows, feaathers, and swastikas. We know almost nothing at all about this bracelet about where or who made it or where or when it was made or it's value. Also, she was given a small silver cup or chalice that we know nothing about either. I have attached a few pictures and would appreciate any help that anyone could give us regarding these items.. Thank you.

I think the bracelet is Zuni, the chalice, mexican. Both are silver, probably.925, Chalice should have marks on the bottom and would have had an insert at some time. You need to have an expert look at them. They could tell you in record time. The age? Need more facts and pics of the chalice bottom and under the bracelet. When did great grandma get them?

Thank you.. The chalice does not have any markings on the bottom. Yes, it did have a glass insert at one time but it got broken over the years. The bracelet is also plain on the backside with no markings. The great-grandmmother was Cherokee out of the state of Georgia.. I will try to post more pics that may help also.. Again, thank you very much..DSCF0647.webpDSCF0649.webpDSCF0650.webpDSCF0651.webpDSCF0653.webp
