Can anyone identify this bracelet?

I dug this at an old homesite over the weekend. The site dates back to the late 1700s and is still occupied today. By the looks of it I would guess possibly 1940s -50s but I couldn't find anything similar online. I dug things from various time periods so it's hard to say. I would really like to know more about it if anyone has any information about it. Sorry there aren't more pics. I did not see any markings on it anywhere. If more pictures are required I will post more. Thanks

That's a beautiful bracelet find Ben.
Based on the style and the silver or nickel plating on brass I would assume, my guess would be late-Deco Period (1930s - 40s).

"Art Deco was not a single style, but a collection of different and sometimes contradictory styles. Art Deco, sometimes referred to as Deco, is a style of visual arts, architecture and design that first appeared in France just before World War I. Art Deco influenced the design of buildings, furniture, jewelry, fashion, cars, movie theaters, trains, ocean liners, and everyday objects such as radios and vacuum cleaners. In architecture, Art Deco was the successor to and reaction against Art Nouveau, a style which flourished in Europe between 1895 and 1900, and also gradually replaced the Beaux-Arts and neoclassical that were predominant in European and American architecture.

In the 1930s, during the Great Depression, the Art Deco style became more subdued. New materials arrived, including chrome plating, stainless steel, and plastic. A sleeker form of the style, called Streamline Moderne, appeared in the 1930s; it featured curving forms and smooth, polished surfaces. Art Deco is one of the first truly international styles, but its dominance ended with the beginning of World War II and the rise of the strictly functional and unadorned styles."
