The listing, Heavyweight Faux Turquoise Silver Plated Unicorn Cuff Bracelet - Free Shipping has ended.

This is another item I won on Listia which I think is silver plated not silver. It has some hallmark on it that says 84 and apparently a copyright mark. However there are a couple of tiny flakes that have come off and there appears to be copper underneath.

I still don't know if some silver is plated in copper and then plated again with silver with the copper playing the role of the 7.5 % or maybe 16% in this bracelet. However I would play it safe and say this is silver plated.

I did find a very similar bracelet for sale here: http://www.yesterdaysjewels.com/product_info.php?products_id=1525 for $14. The bracelet is identical except there is no charm "eye" on the bottom of the unicorn badge. They say it's plated there. The first image is in fact from that site.

The second image is my scan of the actual item. I digitally removed the arms of the bracelet from the image because the scanner I'm using for photos of items made the arms out of focus and in ugly grey shadows. Anyway it's practically identical to the first image and in pretty good shape.

I'd say this bracelet is worth between $5-$12 if you sold it on eBay. It weighs 0.9 ounces or 26 grams. The diameter of the bracelet is about 2 1/2 inches made for say a child or tweener I think.

If you know about hallmarks say of Mexican silver and this is not plated, then this could be a real bargain.

This is interesting, the 84 mark might be a russian silver mark - http://www.925-1000.com/Frussia.html indicating 87.5 % silver.

I think it's clearly Russian, the question is whether it's fake or not. Up examination, the charm eyelet has been removed and underneath is copper or brass. Like I said before I'm not sure if say 84/.875 Russian silver is plated over copper which is then plated over solid silver.
