    It is a North African souvenir bracelet, base metal and glass. You find them with camels and hamzas (hand of Fatima) as well. They used to be made in France or Italy for the North African tourist trade, but could be made in North Africa now

    African street peddlars are still selling these on the streets of southern Europe, along with leather belts and other touristy things, probably in North Africa as well. So it could have been made last year.
    Age is of no importance with these bangles, it is just whether you like them or not. Enjoy.:)

    Several of us have worked in modern jewellery shops, galleries, department store counters, but actually love old, vintage or antique jewellery. I have worked in designer jewellery shops and jewellery/art galleries myself, but buy mostly ethnic and antique jewellery.

    Ashley, it seems the costume joolies are not looking at your thread, whereas they are the ones who could help with the pieces you added after the North African bangle (also costume, but different). Maybe next time you should add 'costume' to the title?
