On each of the 3 green enamel mosaic panels there is an “E” inside a box next to the words Sterling. The silver work is surprising in that even the large jump rings have designs on them. I have seen one Eisenberg pendant with an enamel tile mosaic motif, but just don’t know if they made this piece. The piece is old and the back is worn somewhat. It is a beautiful older deco style bracelet. Any thoughts?

Eisenberg?

That mark is found on Art Deco enamel pieces but I've never seen it ID'd.
It's mentioned in this link, it's the same mark as your E, I had a bubble piece, same as pic 4, with that mark not too long ago.

This is from the USPTO site. Altough it seems to be the right trademark and type of business, I don't know how good a fit it is in this case.

I can't help but think the information I've given is just coincidental.
The first use in commerce date that is given is hopefully an accurate indicator of how long the mark was used whether regsitered or not. From what I've seen these dates are extended as far back as can possibly be justified and maybe sometimes further.
I over reacted once I saw what seemed like a good possibility for the mark in question. Consequently, I wish I hadn't posted it.
Chalk it up to my depravity. Unfortunately, there's more where that came from.

Coincidental or not, it is good that the information was posted. Elimination is an important part of the identification process.
Over the years, I've seen a fair number of pieces made by this company and I think that "E in a rectangle" must have been a fairly small manufactory.
Their output was serially assembled bracelets, necklaces and earrings of cloisonne enameled sterling with embossed sterling linkages. The enameled plaques are always marked, but the linkages and catches don't ever seem to be. I suspect the company purchased the embossed links and inexpensive catches from other makers and limited themselves to the enamel work and assembly. Their finished products are often quite nice and sometimes very cool.
They are the makers of the mysterious "bubbles" enamels and some other examples of their work can be seen here.

Based on ValkyrieVixen's post above, there is one other important clue to mention. The Womens Wear Daily article from 1930 indicates that Fishel-Nessler Co. of New York was annoucing or publicizing art deco pieces with this same hallmark. Since I have now seen numerous enamel pieces with this E in a Box mark - including bubbles pieces, flower brooches, necklaces, bracelets, etc - I believe there was some connection to Fishel-Nessler Co. Perhaps the E in a Box company was a subsidiary or contract company that employed enamelists.
