AnswerHello Tracye and thank you for your inquiry. I apologize for the delay - my computer has been down. Your bracelet looks very interesting and the buckle style has been a popular design. If there are no markings on the inside, you might want to have it tested for metal content i.e. sterling. Just from what I can see, it may be Mexican Sterling. You may also want to have it appraised especially since this is a family heirloom. A jewelry estate appraiser would be the best choice since they are very familiar with the older styles and makers. It's very difficult to tell much about an item even with a picture other than the aesthetics and it looks lovely. Hope this helps and enjoy your bracelet.
