Le Brech & Associes has attributed the bracelet to Chanel.

Three sculptural floral medallions in antiqued silver-tone metal feature rounded petals surrounding luminous faux-pearl centers. Twisted-rope detailing and raised beaded borders frame the openwork flowers, joined by paired textured links that allow the bracelet to articulate around the wrist. A ring-and-toggle clasp completes the design.
