    Hello Isabel, I did see your photos.  I am still waiting for someone to comment on the photo I posted.  I think may be India, but I'm not sure.

    I will look in the book "World of Bracelets"

    If it opens on both sides it is likely to be an anklet, not a bracelet. As I told Becky, the safest assumption is probably that it is Indian, not least with this kind of closure. If you open it up, turn in the OPPOSITE direction of the western one, and vice versa, Otherwise you will destroy the screws (if they are screws).

    India is BY FAR the likeliest place of origin.

    If it's solid silver it is likely to be worth a fair bit, but much less so if it is not.
