This vintage bracelet is made of alpaca silver (more info below) and has a hinge opening in the front, like a gate. The front piece/"gate" has floral details made of mother of pearl, filled in with red enamel. The bracelet is stamped on the back of the "gate", though it's difficult to read due to wear and a less than 10/10 stamping. The bracelet has normal vintage wear, but a polish would bring it back to life. Still, it's very wearable as-is. Dimensions (across): 63x53mm Band width: 3mm Weight: 13.97g Love the piece but not the price? Make an offer! "What the heck is alpaca silver"? So, I initially thought this bracelet was sterling silver, but I was mistaken, it's alpaca silver. What is that? Alpaca silver, also known as "German silver" or "Nickel Silver", is an alloy containing copper, nickel, and zinc (and no actual silver). It has a silver appearance and has been around in one form or another for centuries. It is often used as a base metal for silver-plated cutlery as well as for zippers, costume jewellery, and quality keys (among other things). One popular brand of this metal is called Alpacca, but it is also just called Alpaca. Apparently using the term "silver" for alloys is a no no, even if it's in the name.
