		<description>G'day and many thanks for your query

Your bracelet sounds delightful so I hope you wear it often and enjoy it - for that's what the Maker wanted.

The problem is 'Who was the maker?'

And the simple answer is - Nobody Knows.

The reason is quite simple. There is no central registry for jewelers or designers. In fact - anyone - anywhere can make and stamp their jewelry with whatever they want - and they don't have to register it anyway.

The largest jewelry manufacturing base in the World right now is South East Asia and China. Can you imagine some manufacturing jeweler there complying with British, European or American standards? I don't thing so.

You have a much better chance of finding a Maker's Mark in Antique Jewelry - than you do today. That's a fact.

You also state that you think it may be an 'Arts and Crafts' piece which would date it somewhere between 1861 -1900.

Maybe you mean it is done in that 'Style' which basically means anyone who makes jewelry as a hobby or a small craft workshop.

Best you just enjoy it. You might like to place this question on my blog at: http://how2valuejewelry.com/ as someone might have more information. Can't harm anyway.

Hope this helps.</description>
