Antique (Persian?) Filigree Bracelet

Recently acquired this bracelet at an estate sale. It has no makers marks or any hall marks of any kind. It also has an unusual screw type clasp and 8 mother of pearl hand painted pieces. I found a similar bracelet on eBay that said it was Persian from the 1800's. Can anyone confirm this? Thanks in advance!

Hello Shofner303,

The bracelet has indications of Persian artwork, especially the birds, used much in Isfahani artwork. The filigree work is certainly Armenian so there's a possibility that the painted pearls came from Iran but the silver was worked in Armenia. This does not appear so old. Perhaps 50 years or so.
Regards,
