Answer
Dawn,

It sounds like your bracelet was one of many designs of similar bracelets made by Bates and Bacon c. 1900-1930's. They were based in Attleboro, Mass. They became famous for their bracelets sometimes referred to as Sweetheart Bracelets and are very collectible. They had several patented design features and worked mostly in gold filled items.  If it is stamped 1/20 it means it is gold filled (or basically a heavy gold plating or some other type of metal).

Hope you enjoy your bracelet.
