I rarely use the word "sterling" when referring to older Native American silver or really any older silver jewelry as silver contents vary and "sterling" is 92.5% silver. No older jewelry is going to be exactly 92.5% silver, some a little over, some a little under. It wasn't an exact thing with handmade jewelry. I've seen thousands of pieces xrf'd to prove this.
Bracelets are photographed on a 6 women's wrist.. Thank you for your consideration, we work really hard to show size, condition, and accurately describe our items mostly through our photos. Vintage Native American jewelry is expected to have wear, I will do my best to describe major flaws but time is everything in our business so please look at the photos that we put so much effort into. There should be 10 of them or close. It is always a first time customer which makes it that much more horrible as I cannot look at the loss as something that averages out, it's just a stand alone loss.
