Don't recall where I got it.....may have belonged to my mother. One of those items that stays locked away and never worn. :(
800 Sterling Silver (800 mark on box clasp/fastener)
Seven Cameos-Chariots-marcasite
looks to be mother of pear shell
Could someone explain the gods and goddesses portrayed to represent the seven days of the week?
Very unusual and quite beautiful Melaniej :)... this may help with the design interpretation.

Clever Mike! I would not have known this represented the gods of days.
It is a fantastic bracelet Melanie. Almost looks like the carvings could be used to make prints.
