Picked this at a TS today for $16 and change. The stones are a red carnelian agate. It's marked on the hook and some of the stone mounts with these tiny Egyptian looking script marks. From what I find online the two dots mean it's an 80% silver alloy. It a fairly hefty piece of jewelry, as the stones are also backed with silver.

Wow that’s a really nice piece
 
Good Find! A lot of that North African jewelry, especially the silver is almost pure. The Taurg's were noted for making their silver jewelry.
 
Quality piece. Good workmanship. That bracelet was not made by some 10 year old sitting cross legged in the dirt. Everything nicely done, and the stones are good quality, too. Nice find!
 
Very nice piece of jewelry! :icon_thumleft:
