| That 'nugget' look was popular in the mid- to late-1980's, so that would be my guess as to the date. I believe the 585 is 14K gold. Value? I'd suspect probably metal weight. However, IMO, the woven part of the bracelet is a much more timeless style than the nugget section. If that nugget section could be easily replaced with something simpler, the value of the entire piece might go up. |

| The wear appears much more communsurate with it having been made much earlier than 1985. And since it is marked 585 it is most likely European or Asian in origin I know nugget jewelry had a renewed popularity in the 1980's but I have a piece that I KNOW is older than that because I have had it longer, and it was old when I bought it. I sure don't know what it's worth. Certainly the weight of the metal and the stones but likely a lot more. The "nugget look" that was popular a few years back was done with fake nuggets....I believe what you have is done with real nuggets by the wear and the differences in the color....the pin that I have is. That said, is there a possibility it could be South African in origin? Linda C |

| Alaskan "gold nugget" jewelry has been popular for a long time. I have a ring from the 1950s. It's worth taking to a jeweler for an appraisal. |
