This rare bracelet is from approximately the 1940’s and is marked Alpaca Silver. The carved Aztec mask in turquoise are supposed to have dangle earrings, but all but one are missing. It’s made with a beautiful panel link and insert clasp. “Alpaca Silver is a copper alloy with nickel and often zinc. The usual formation is 60% copper, 20% nickel and 20% zinc. Nickel silver does not contain the element silver.”

pattyomerza @susababe I’ll try to grab a better picture as soon as I can. It may a couple hours though sorry!

pattyomerza @susababe I’ve added three new pictures showing the darker spots. I’m not sure what they are - I haven’t tried to clean it up. Which is why the price is low for this turquoise piece.

susababe @pattyomerza oh. its just the dark spot on the silver you had circled. the clasp works ok right? dark spots, if its sterling, my guess is its fire scale and has been there since it was made. probably wont come off after this long, but if on the back who cares?

pattyomerza @susababe the clasp does work! And yes the biggest spots are on the back. The other are right next to the clasp and are hardly noticeable
