Hi, this bracelet is kind of springy, so it widens to open, and then can latch onto one of the three holes. It is very thin, lightweight, and quite small with inner circumference of about 5 7/8 inches on the biggest setting. The engraving is just on the front half, the back half is plain.
What time period do you think it is from? Victorian, or later, like the 40s? Anyone recognize the mark? I checked RCJ under the Ms and Bs, but didn't see it. The only MB I saw was Boucher, and this doesn't look like that style at all to me.
Thanks!

I get a Nativee American vibe from this. If it is narrowing down the mark and the age might be difficult.

Maybe Morse Bros. out of NYC, they made silver jewelry in the early 1900's.

It doesn't look NA made,can't tell from the photo if it is die stamped or hand engraved.It appears to be early western bright cut, possibly hobbyist/student made and later the the 1960's.

Thanks everyone for your comments and ideas. I can see in the photos where it looks kind of NA/Southwestern, but in person it does not. It's very light and delicate.

Thanks, I missed that MB. The few pieces of jewelry I saw for her are a very different style.
