This is an old bracelet given to me from my late grandmother. There are no markings or stamps on it, and I would like to find out if the symbols on it mean anything. I adore it! Please help!

First off, nice vintage ruler! I collect them :) I believe the bracelet is Indian--look up Hamsa hand, and elephant makes sense for Indian as well. I forget what the star symbol means, that will tell a lot I'm sure! Help here! Nice bracelet, I love it!
Okay, I believe it is an Indian, maybe good fortune bracelet--The symbolism of the elephant, the hamsa hand, the sword, and maybe that is a horseshoe with star has got to be good fortune. Just my opinion of course :)
Thank You Jewels!!! You are right on, found a few in the images on Google!! Thank You for your help!!!
Really!? Yes! Glad to help! Love the bracelet! I love Indian culture and the food!!! Ahh the food!!!
Hi there, I too have an identical bracelet to yours which my grandfather purchased from Morocco many, many years ago! This type & style of bracelet is known, better still referred to as a ‘tourist / souvenir bracelet’. This particular bracelet features Islamic Symbols: Hamsa / Hand of Fatima; Elephants; Scimitar (Sword) & the ‘Star & Crescent Moon’.
