History
After multiple bracelet searches, I've seen lots of gold, pearl, and sapphire bracelets, but nothing similar to this one:
• Gifted to my Mom; late 80's early '90s from "boyfriend" who was in his 90s at the time. He purchased this from his (older?!) sister no longer wearing it. Mom wore it until 2011 and recently left it to me.
• Looks like art deco –maybe? Strong possibility it was crafted in NYC. That's all I know.
• I'd like to sell this piece and plan to have it appraised, but I'd appreciate any information as to possible age, maker, style/history –any thoughts appreciated.
Also, seeking suggestions on fair, safe & reliable (???) sales channels and see an offering here... I do list on eBay, but not sure I feel comfortable selling it there...
My first attempt, if TMI, sorry. Thanks in advance!

Bracelet
Jewelry is difficult to appraise online. The metal and gems need to be tested, weighed and measured. Best to take it to a jeweler. There are many jewelers that take consignments to sell your bracelet if you aren't comfortable selling through online channels.
