Bracelet Pulsera 916 Sterling Silver Russian Repousse Flower Panel Links Circa 1980s Vintage Jewelry Vendimia Joyeria from Yours, Occasionally. Stunning bracelet of sterling silver panels depicting stylized flowers framed by a Greek key design. It was made by Russian artisans in the 1970s - 1980s. The bracelet has acquired a pale gold patina from the copper in the sterling silver's composition. The bracelet is not marked Sterling, however, I tested it using the standard magnet test which is also used to test silver and gold. A magnet will not be attracted (stick) to either gold, silver, copper, or sterling silver. [88 zolotnik Russian silver has the equivalent millesimal fineness of 916. The alloy contains 91.66% pure silver and 8.34% copper or other metals.** The hinged clip or fold over clasp is not sterling and it shows a bit of wear on it's bottom side. There may be a small amount of wear on the front of some panels, but it may also be a little tarnish. The bracelet should still be considered to be in excellent vintage* condition.
