FreeShip! Vintage Mid Century Silver Egyptian Snake Coil Bracelet w gemstones

Awesome coiled snake bracelet that is meant to have some flex to it. A popular theme going back to mid century. Some are better than others in their finish and execution, this one is very nicely made with the zig-zag etching detail along the side of the snakes head and the addition of turquoise and garnet eyes. Compare to the pics for sizing.

The hallmarks are very tiny, can be seen under a loupe or using the macro on your phone:

1. Mark with two dots and a scimitar shape is for: Cairo.
2. 80: Arabic numeral 8 looks like inverted V and the one dot for 0 is the silver fineness: .800
3. The hallmark for Egypt in the center, lotus flower or papyrus used since 1946. It’s blown out how it was stamped, though is determined by the context of the other marks.
4. Year mark at right using the Arabic alphabet: here 1968 – 1974, with the same mark used 1965 - 1967 but without a dot next to it. Somewhere in that date range.

Condition: Fantastic, no notable issues, just usual light wear.
