    Gorgeous bracelet, Estate, and I'm with inh, 980 silver.
    The design isn't Aztec inspired, as the Etsy listing says, but North African. There was one specific Mexican designer who made North African inspired jewellery. Can't remember her name at the moment, but I guess this was made by someone who worked for her before starting their own workshop.

    Absolutely. Mis-identified as Aztec design. Not.

    Found the designer, Matilde Poulet. She signed her work Matla (this bracelet is not by her). She had been a fellow art student of Diego Rivera, and used many different inspirations in her work, including North African.
    As I said before, my guess is that your bracelet was made by someone who had previously worked for her. Given the silver fineness and lack of other marking, it is certainly a fairly early piece, possibly 1930s-40s.
