      Hello Agram!

      I have a piece of old jewelry I'd like you to take a look at. Its a linked bracelet, marked 800 but looks heavily rhodium plated, set with marcasites. Very sparkly, strange hallmark. I've never seen anything like it before, I thought perhaps you may have? I'll take some photos tomorrow and post it, would you mind giving me your opinion on it?
