I don't know anything about this Bracelet, I do not think it is gold, even though it has a safety chain on it . The only mark on it is on the clasp and is a S or a 5. I bought it at a garage sale becuase I loved it's unusual design. It appears very Art Deco to me. Has anyone ever seen one like.. or similar to this or know anything about it?

Hi Agram
Thank you so much for your help, you seem to be very spot on with your information.

Interesting information - I have a bracelet of a similar motif. Hope you enjoy yours as much as I do mine. DD@Phila
"YES", it looks like a Toledo jewelry. They still making these type of jewelry for the tourist in Toledo Spain. Most/all are not mark. If you go to Toledo you will see how the make/produce these jewelry by the workers.
Thanks folks . I am still trying to find out what the S or 5 ? means : )
