So when I as at this estate sale today, I was looking mainly for rhinestone costume jewelry, anything signed, animal brooches, etc. Well, this particular piece, I looked past a few times and then my boyfriend came over and looked at it and told me to just get it. So here I am with this bracelet I know nothing about but excited to some research on it!!

I saw this at an antique show today and they were asking $38 for it. No info about origin or maker was available unfortunately.
These have been popular in Mexico and Spain for decades. I have seen Italian versions too. Mainly a tourist thing.
Thank you for the information!!! I will probably end up selling it eventually since I don't really collect stuff like that.
