Do you have a front view of the Butterfly in normal light?

Did you test the metal on the butterfly?  I had the exact same piece and it was sterling with a gold wash.

Hi I think I have a front view, also no I did not test, I don't test anything. If it is not marked or confirmed by someone, It is just goldtone or silvertone too me.. 🙂

rain,

Do you have any way to weigh the Egyptian bracelet?  It could be sterling, as there is currently one for sale on eBay (sorry, cannot link to it), and I can find none in Completeds, but maybe you can.  Actually made in Egypt, weighs approx. 15.3 grams, and are 11 busts of Nefertiti, the wife of some muki-muck in ancient Egypt.  The bust of Nefertiti is acclaimed to be one of the most popular motifs of that era.  Yours looks very nicely made, so bet it is sterling!

Thanks for the Full Frontal on the Butterfly 🙂

It looks like it could be 1980s to Contemporary based on the heaviness and the type of enamel.

Re: the bracelet, I am seeing the scroll design that Jezlaine 925 pieces have. Sometimes it is really had to make out the Marks. I had earrings that I almost missed seeing the Mark on. There was a smeary Jez and the 925 was also hard to see. Maybe a picture of the Back might help. Also if Egyptian look along the side and on the front for small boxes that would be what their marks look like.
