Thanks for uploading this Sigrid. It feels very much like my bracelet. The zigzag pattern is rendered in an almost identical way. Do you know how old it is?

It does, doen't it? I 'recognized' yours immediately as well. I don't exactly know its age, because I don't know much about Tunisian hallmarks...It is worn though, I posted another picture of its front so you can see. The zigzaglines have been smoothed and the front panel with the plaited decoration is worn as well. The edges are smoothed and worn, so my best guess would be it is around 50 or 60 years old.
