Bracelet symbols
« on: Tuesday 20 August 13 14:48 BST (UK) »
Is there any significance in the symbols on this bracelet?
Each one is similar but with variations, so they are not random squiggles.
The clasp is marked 925 silver, indicating British Sterling.

Looks like "niello", Thai dancers?

Hi Bob, this is probably "out of the left field" but,...... Is it English? I know it has the "925" mark but it looks like Lizards/crocodiles, and they seem to be walking around the bracelet, maybe a bit Aboriginal.  :-\
( I did say it was out of the left field ).
Regards,
Frank.

That's a possibility.

In fact.......after enlarging and turning the picture it makes my suggestion look completely mad.

Initially I thought I saw dragons or insects but now I think Scoosh might be right.

This site says there should be the word 'Siam' written somewhere.

It is almost certainly Thai. The black is Niello, a sort of enamel used on a lot of Thai silver.
