want to know the history of my bracelet

[smokii888]

Hello i have a bracelet with 5 stamps
1st is 375 which i know wat it means
2nd is a crown
3rd is a Caligraphy style D
4th is the letter (in block) HIE
and the 5th is sort of like a face
if u have any idea id love to know i was told once it was part of a 16th century royal set but ive never looked into it it is also hand crafted and been in my family for about 200yrs

I think the crown means that it was made and hallmarked in the UK. The 3rd may be the year it was made and 4th mark should be the maker's mark. A google search of British or English hallmarks should help you out.

you'd have to post pics of the marks. They can't possibly be read or understood with verbal descriptions. Also, other countries used pseudohallmarks to mimic the ones used by British guilds.

And your description isn't consistent with 16th c.

375 is for 9ct gold. Is there a jewellers near you who you could take it into? Best to get it professionally valued!

Agree with GGA - those marks are inconsistent with a 200 year old piece. If anything, think maybe more like Victorian. Would need to see the marks to make a better judgement.
