Deluxe Carmen Bracelet: History & Description - D.F. Briggs Co

Question
What can you tell me about the deluxe carmen bracelet - heart-shaped locket with back opening.  Stones forming heart are 1 row of blue and 1 row of white.

Answer
Hello Marlene and thank you for your inquiry. I am not familiar with specific Carmen bracelets but can tell you that they were made by D. F. Briggs Co in Attleboro patented in 1890. They were named after the opera Carmen which opened in Paris in 1875. Their bracelet were sometimes accompanied by a beautiful box with velvet interior. Current ebay market prices run from $20 - $100. Hope this helps !
