Went on a scouting mission today to try and sniff out some new colonial sites. Didn't find any colonial but managed to put my coil over a sterling bracelet. I was walking along the edge of a field on my way to another wooded area, dug 4 bottle caps and 3 zincolns, and this sterling bracelet. When I got home and showed to the wife, she put it in her jewelry cleaner and made it look like new.

Also dug a few Wheaties including two 1929's in the same hole.

That must have been a different sounding signal. What's on the other side of those charms? Nice going Jeff!:clapping:

That bracelet is a incredible find! It looks to be an Elsa Peretti design using Tiffany charms. The chain design is definately hers. Her simple chain with 3 little glass charms goes for $850. The ones with more charms or silver charms, price goes up rapidly. Wouldn't surprise me if it was worth in excess of $1500!

Here's the link to one bracelet using that chain. If it's authentic, it should have the stamps of "Peretti" "Tiffany (&co.)", .925, and the year it was made.

It appears to be authentic. On that little tag part on the clasp at says "Tiffany & Co 925" and on the other side it has Elsa Peretti's signature and "Spain".

Thanks Al. I didn't know what I had !

Thanks Drew. It was a bit odd sounding. Even though it had a nice tone I didn't get too excited as I had just dug 3 bottle caps that sounded real nice too :lol:. Nothing on the back of the charms.
Thanks for the Elsa Peretti ID Chris !

Any time-love doing the research! :congrats:
Only found 1 other example, being sold used on ebay UK for about $175 US. Looking at it though, it appears to be pretty beat up, not to mention it's likely a fake judging by the poor quality on the chain. Resale prices for tiffany is all over the board, but I would say yours is at the high end.
Wow great bracelet Jeff :loveit: the wife going to claim this one ??
Great information Chris !:notworthy:
