Long Description and Pictures (jpg, gif, png): 

I got this silver-colored turquoise bracelet at a Seattle yard sale, where it was priced as costume jewelry, and know nothing of its history. It has absolutely no stamps, marks, or hallmarks. I can say that the metal is not magnetic. This bracelet is fairly stiff and has a heavy feel. It weighs 65 g (2.3 oz) and is 6 cm (2 3/8 inches) across and 5 cm (2 inches) wide at the front.
