Description

The listing, Vintage Sterling Silver ?Baby Bracelet? has ended.

Thanks for stopping by my auction. First things first:
You will get free shipping and tracking will be added to give you a hassle free fun experience with this auction. Rude comments will get you blocked from any other future auctions of mine.

What you are bidding on vintage although I'm puzzled and I'm not sure exactly how old this is. It could be a baby bracelet it's old and dirty so I wouldn't advise putting it on your babyor some kinda napkin ring. It's great for the collector of such sort of items. If anyone knows I'd like some info. It is made in India. It's not stamped so I did the magnet test and it didn't stick and from what I heard that means it's silver. It has natural patina which adds to the character and value of this. When I first picked up this piece for resale I was told not to clean it off.

I am giving this 21 days for the nature of this find. It's silver and heavy the value of this in silver alone is probably worth a lot. Good luck bidding

Questions & Comments

My mom has been an estate liquidator for antiques, vintage and collectables for over 40 years. In the old days they used to take old silverware and bend them into different things. Most popular jewelry. I have also seen forks bent onto plate and frame racks for displaying. Very fun and cool.

Oh that's sounds really neat. : D

I agree with Patsy, Ziggy and others.......napkin ring.
In Google images search use these keywords "silver spoon napkin rings"...
Very pretty example you have.

Feb 23rd, 2014 at 6:17:44 AM PST by

I just want to say just because it does not stick to a magnet doesn't exactly mean silver. It could be another alloy that us not magnetic although it is a good sign. It really does look like a napkin ring. It's a very nice and interesting piece.

Feb 14th, 2014 at 4:33:34 PM PST by

Okay. Thanks for the info. I had always been told that if a magnet doesn't, stick it's real. Wish I knee another way of telling for sure

Feb 14th, 2014 at 6:57:21 PM PST by

So did you ever find out what it is? You stated on the 19th that you would have it checked and then I haven't seen an update or comment since
It is very pretty though.. Have you measured it?

Feb 23rd, 2014 at 6:32:15 PM PST by

Try to get it tested so people will stop ridiculing you about it not being silver because it's not stamped. Foreign items do not always have stamps and neither do American items either. Things can still be silver without it saying it is.

Feb 20th, 2014 at 7:03:47 PM PST by

Okay I will.

Feb 22nd, 2014 at 7:10:52 AM PST by

After reading, DoctorInevitable's comment above, I have to agree it is a napkin ring. Check this link out and see what you think: http://tinyurl.com/lnmy3rr

Okay I will have to check it out. Thanks for the link... : D

Thanks. Fanning back. Good luck if you decide to bid

Also, if it is made from an "antique" utensil the 925 or sterling stamp may have been on the piece that was removed. Like closer to the spoon or fork part of the utensil, because that is where those items are stamped

Feb 21st, 2014 at 5:23:51 PM PST by

That's so true. Thanks for the insight.

Mar 4th, 2014 at 7:03:36 PM PST by

you welcome hope you
watch or bid my auction
thanks

Okay thanks. I will be checking them out

Mar 5th, 2014 at 8:25:07 AM PST by

wow, a heck of a lot discussion over the value of silver... silver IS stamped silver...almost always, India does not import Silver anything to the USA, most likely it's a nickle alloy that doesn't tarnish.
A "car" can be designated an "antique" vehicle for plating purposes after 20 years, the term ANTIQUE is "subjective" to the users P.O.V./timeframe
Good morning ladies, it 4am so please forgive me for butting in to the conversation. God bless you all, Vince

Mar 5th, 2014 at 1:45:11 AM PST by

Lol. Oh your fine. ; D.....

Mar 5th, 2014 at 8:26:16 AM PST by

I would avoid using the term STERLING, as it is NOT sterling, sterling would be stamped a KT weight on the inside, almost missed that. It is a nickle alloy napkin dinner rind, spoon wear as it's known. I have many examples, and yes, it is SILVER" in "COLOR".....have a great day...

Mar 5th, 2014 at 1:51:02 AM PST by

Yes there seems to be much debate on this. Some say its a baby bracelet like there grandmother won in a baby contest. some say its a spoon ring. Some say the marking could have been cut off. Heck my head is spinning now. Lol. Jk. : D.....

Babies don't usually wear "heavy" bracelets, and most babies now days don't wear bracelets (because of choking hazard for the chain ones, and getting them caught on something for the more rigid ones). At least that's what I've been told by the new mommies! But I have seen sets of napkin rings just like your photos, so I'm thinking that's what it is (like you needed another opinion). LOL! Good luck with the auction -- it's a pretty little thing no matter what the use. :)

Mar 6th, 2014 at 11:37:01 AM PST by

it's the Onieda wear style they knocked these out to match the popular silver-wear style for matching napkins holders. The commoner's rich mans table setting. Would mahe a great dog collar for a tea-cup chihauha!

Mar 6th, 2014 at 7:15:39 PM PST by

Watching Please fan!

Mar 7th, 2014 at 4:57:07 AM PST by

It is a napkin ring. I have a set of four. It is vintage since the set I have belonged to my deceased grandmother that was 97 years old. And yes it would make a perfect bracelet for a child . I don't think it is silver since mine never tarnished.
Beautiful detail

Feb 21st, 2014 at 7:59:56 PM PST by

This hasn't tarnished either. What you see is Patina. However I am unsure if this is genuine silver.

Mar 4th, 2014 at 7:13:56 PM PST by

Love this, not sure what it is either, but I do know that vintage is 20+ years and antiques IS at least 100 yrs old. I'm curious where 50 yrs became the new antique..hmm lol anyways..f & w really like this one!

Feb 21st, 2014 at 9:18:18 AM PST by

Thanks for the clarification. I love listia because there are so many different people on here and everyone has something we can learn from.

Mar 4th, 2014 at 7:03:10 PM PST by

^^ totally true- older items weren't always stamped. Sometimes new aren't stamped. Antique is 50 yrs or older- not 100. It s a beautiful piece! Nice auction :)

Feb 20th, 2014 at 10:46:37 PM PST by

F&W

Feb 18th, 2014 at 9:50:03 PM PST by

Thank you pretty. Will be posting more info on this tomorrow. Good luck if you decide to bid.

Feb 19th, 2014 at 4:13:04 AM PST by

Looks like a napkin holder. One of a set most likely. Nice piece.

Feb 18th, 2014 at 6:47:03 PM PST by

I will find out exactly what this is and post tomorrow. Think it's a baby bracelet cause I got this from my vintage/antique bead/jewelry supplier. Appreciate you stopping. Good luck if you decide to bid.

Feb 19th, 2014 at 4:12:13 AM PST by

I believe it is a napkin ring. And most likely not silver. If it were silver, chances are it would be stamped, not labled with a sticker. It is still a pretty interesting item tho!

Feb 17th, 2014 at 12:40:46 AM PST by

Hmmmmm...... Think it's a toss up between a baby bracelet and a napkin holder...... Lol..... I think it's jewelry though when I think about it logically cause I got it from my vintage/antique bead supplier.

Feb 19th, 2014 at 4:05:12 AM PST by

Jacquline1 I may be young but I know lots about this stuff it is indeed not real it fake a way to tell and the most common easy way is if it's real it will say 925 inside or on it that s or it will say sterling silver or just sterling it all means it is silver

Feb 16th, 2014 at 7:51:20 AM PST by

Okay thanks ......

Feb 16th, 2014 at 6:02:56 PM PST by

Its very beautifuly detailed, the flowers make it so feminine. I love the way it narrows to create the focal point on top. F&W =)

Feb 15th, 2014 at 6:31:46 PM PST by

Feb 16th, 2014 at 6:01:00 PM PST by

Feb 15th, 2014 at 2:15:46 PM PST by

I don't care what kind of metal it is--it is beautiful and I really hope to win this for my new granddaughter!

Feb 15th, 2014 at 12:26:56 PM PST by
