    Hamza/hamsa hand, camel... Middle East or North Africa :)
    Cold painted enamel... I suspect it is silvered cast,not solid silver.
    Vintage at best, still a pleasant bracelet!

    North African souvenir. These are sold all over North Africa and by Africans in southern Europe. They are mostly silver plated.
    There must be an industry somewhere, China maybe?
    The enamel is based on traditional Berber enamel:

    Be careful when you clean it, the silver plating on these bracelets is very thin. Best try a drop of dishwashing liquid in some water.
