Identifying & Valuing Vintage Italian 925 Silver Bracelet (CLO)


Question

Bracelet
I found a bracelet that has a stamp that says Italy 925 (or 325). I think it is a 9, but can't tell for sure. The only other stamp that is on it are the letters CLO (possibly GLO). It is a domed shape (omega type) with a mesh on the inside of the bracelet that would lay next to the skin. It has a box and tongue type closure with a safety clasp. I was wondering how much this could be worth, if it is an antique, or anything you could tell me about this piece. It is quite tarnished. I haven't had a chance to clean it up, but I will attach a photo.

Answer
Hello LaVaughn and thank you for your inquiry. Your bracelet is from Italy and the 925 means it is sterling silver. The other letters are probably the manufacturer mark. These bracelets are popular worn alone or with other bracelets as accents. Value would depend on the price of sterling silver at the time of marketing but most of these sell for around $25. Hope this helps.
