This bracelet was bought by my great grandfather somewhere in Eourpe. I would love to find out where it comes fom and when it was made. I think the stones are either ruby or garnet mixed with coral. The hallmarks are an A with a B and a T on either side of the A along with a fleur de li. Any help will be very much appreciated. Charlotta

Hello Charlotta.
I believe the mark with an "A" in it is an Autro-Hungarian import mark.



Can't help you with the fleur-de-lys mark.

Pat.

Thank you very much! I thought the bracelet was from Turkey or India looking at the design. I took the bracelet to an antique expert the other day and he said it dated from the late 18th century, looking at the image attached to your message this must be correct. Again, thank you! Charlotta

The Fleur d'Lys mark is Czech import after 1942. The bracelet itself is most likely North African or Middle Eastern in origin, could have been made anytime up until 1902.
Now that we have the marks squared away, I'll move it to Mid-East silver, perhaps someone can nail down where it was made.

Thank you, it is really interesting to find all of this out!
