    Flea market find. Marked 925 for silver. I paid more than I usual pay, 10 eur, for it, as this was massive piece of silver. It looks gorgeous on my hand! And the closure is very user-friendly as well, I dont need help to close it!
    The seller said its from India and sure enough, I googled similar bracelets from India:

    The only problem is, it shows some wear on the binding parts - check photo 3 - , they look silver plated to me only after closer check. Might it be that this bracelet was some India tourist trap? :D

      Hi lentilka, I've put the link up above, I would say your bracelet is tribal and it's a very pretty piece.

      It could be that the silver as tarnished
