While researching a piece of Joseff of Hollywood jewelry, I came across an interesting, older article about the company and history.
https://www.collectorsweekly.com/articles/lost-hollywood-jewelry-trove-uncovered/
It shows the warehouse and work rooms of Eugene Joseff. along with shelves and shelves of old findings and parts, all still stored in cigar boxes. In a past life, I used to make and design women's swimwear. I could spend hours and hours looking through the old findings suppliers' warehouses in downtown LA...all those little jewels in dusty, beat up boxes.

So...as to an update on this thread...
I took some pix of my bracelet in question and sent them to the Joseff of Hollywood company (yes, you can do that,) and asked them if the bracelet was one of Eugene Joseff's creations. They were very kind to respond. Here is a link of the bracelet in question: https://www.ebay.com/itm/204318201804?nma=true&si=GqvxAhFVFRD1xQ0OlW3WZgaiY54%253D&orig_cvip=true&no...
The bracelet was NOT one of theirs, but it does look similar to his style, so I can't really blame the seller for going that route. I love the piece and I am still searching for the maker. If anyone has any suggestions as to who made it, please let me know. My hunch is that the back will be the biggest clue. Thanks for your input.
