I'm thinking the shiny gold colored closures look "added-on". With the holes it looks like they may be from a necklace or something with strands.

Is that painting on those buttons reverse painting on glass?
The metal is "carp" but the glass looks kind of nice to me....

Looks similar to some bracelets from Mexico, they sometimes make do with what they have. Look carefully on the end pieces where it fastens together as may be some kind of mark. What do backs of glass part look like, is glass glued in from front?

LindaC... the painting appears to be on the surface and painted over with something clear. What is "carp" metal? It does not attract a magnet.

Sunnyca... There are no markings on the clasp and I can't see the backs of the glass because the base is all metal with the button just glued to the metal from the front.

Does the dark stain on the metal have any significance? It looks intentional.

thanks, Di

"carp" metal is forum-ese for cr@p...LOL!
I am sure the dark stain on the metal is just an attempt at an "antique" look.

LOL! love that... it is definitely crappy metal, very light weight. So I guess what I have here is a cheap, rather old souvenir bracelet of about zero value in terms of its artistry, material, or history. Would you agree?

... but some nice buttons! ;-)

Thanks! :) I'll be keeping this silly old thing I think.
