How old is this silver cuff?

It is marked sterling and is about 1.5 inches wide and about 2 ounces  I am trying to decide how old it is.  The beads are apparently hollow as some have collapsed but it is in pretty good shape.  The silver seems to have a yellowing tinge which makes me wonder what it is mixed with. cuff.jpg

My first thought is Middle Eastern, or North African.

Can you show the mark? Sometimes that will help.  Certain fonts or characters may give hints to origin

I had a hard time photographing the mark this moring.  The S is very clear but the rest of the letters are not stamped well and are only half there.  I can try again tonight.  Mabey if I polish around the letters they will show up better.    mark.png

Not much there to work with lol

 

Id still start with the mideastern or north african lead.  Since it is marked to content its probably 20th century at least.  Are you sure it says sterling rather than silver? The sterling standard reached various parts of the world at different times so may help

Yes the T is pretty decent but is hard to photograph.

Here are some more photos.  I keep having to shrink the quality so I hope they come out well.  Ebay wont let me load the original photo.

Interesting. I found a similar bracelet with small accent stones. That cuff had early 20th century CHINA marks.

Thank you! It has sold on etsy but I ran the name on pinterest and found the sale price of it (and two other perfect matches) as $56, $125, and $147.  I also found one on ebay for $119.  Thank you everyone for your help.
