Provenance:

Sweetheart bracelets became especially popular during the early twentieth century as meaningful gifts exchanged between loved ones. Many featured engraved initials, lockets, or symbolic motifs that transformed everyday jewelry into deeply personal keepsakes. Their expandable construction made them comfortable for daily wear while allowing each bracelet to adapt to the wearer.

This bracelet was produced by Carmen, one of the signature lines of the D.F.B. Company (D.F. Briggs & Co.) of Attleboro, Massachusetts, a center of American jewelry manufacturing. Carmen bracelets remain among the most sought-after examples of vintage sweetheart jewelry for their craftsmanship, durable gold-filled construction, and distinctive expansion design.
