I waited in the store while they did the work. When the gave me back the bracelet it did not appear like the same bracelet.They said they cleaned it and that why.
Unfortunately the bracelet markings were never very distinguishable so the numerical mark are not clear being 916. Besides the official gold weight markings how can one authenticate 22k gold?
