Native American jewelry (wild guess)

Post by Dellopogi »

Hi everyone, thanks again for helping me identify my jewelry last time.
I'm here again to ask for your help, I got this jewelry in a garage sales and after looking in the internet, theres a little possibility this jewelry is a old native American. But I'm not really really sure, I don't even know why I'm saying this things I learned.😅
Anyway can you please give your insight again about this jewelry, and share it with me so I can learn real facts and importation.😊 Thanks a lot and enjoy your weekend.

Last question, why is the color of my bracelet is different that the one that I saw it the internet.? Is this a fake silver? If not do you think the best way is to clean it or not?

Color depends on photographic conditions (light temperature in Kelvin). Your bracelet is clearly marked ``sterling`` and there is no doubt about it being solid silver .925.
It is tarnished with patina in depressions, so be careful when cleaning it; there are cleaning solutions to immerse the whole bracelet, if not possible, soak with cotton swab, just do not use any abrasive.

If it's a real Amerindian bracelet, you've got a real treasure here! However, I find it curious that such an ancient piece of jewelry should be stamped 925. Did this mark already exist at the time?
