This is a really unique Victorian bracelet. I was told the charms were all from nursery rhymes. However, I was not sure about this, so think it more accurate to say they are nursery characters. The bracelet is adult size, and is silver plated. The charms are  all flat on the back. The are attached by with rings that are not welded closed, so it might be advisable to have that done in order to prevent and snagging and the risk of loosing any of these precious charms.
