I have been clearing out an old property this week and found some very nice old jewellery.
The pictured bangle was part of what I have found.
I'm 100% sure it's gold but no idea on the grade.
There is only one small mark on the clasp but I can't make it out. If anybody can help me ID it I would be very grateful.

This looks like Bohemian garnets to me me. I have seen them set in gold, silver, vermeil and what some call "garnet gold", which is actually no gold at all. Can you enlarge the marks? Yours might be vermeil, because the large letters could be the ending of the the word silver.
And did I mention, it is a lovely bracelet?!
Hi there,
Thank you so much for the info.
I have just had a quick google of bohemian garnets and I would say your correct.
I had no idea so it’s really appreciated.
I will try get a better picture of the clasp uploaded, but agree that the last few letters on the clasp look like they could of said silver.
Thanks again for putting me on the right track.
Regards
Mick
