Type and time period of Pearl bracelet

Can someone tell me the type and time period of this Pearl bracelet. It is marked 925. Does anyone recognize the little butterfly charm from a maker? IMG_5606.JPGIMG_5605.JPGIMG_5604.JPGIMG_5603.JPG

@wordsmith925 

Hmmm, well they look like fresh water pearls and the clasp looks like a tongue slide clasp ( may have another name for it but I know tongue is involved) 

     I don't know the butterfly hangtag but from reading the symbol of butterfly with pearls have a meaning.

     The era could be later than 40s-50s with that 925 stamp. Earlier, I would see the word sterling stamped usually.

     That's all I got, Silver

i agree, and I don't think it's that old.  Freshwater cultured pearls like this weren't really hitting the market until the 80s or 90s and later.

 

Likely some kind of treated color; dye and/or irradiation.

 

Not a really expensive piece.  New tagged retail in our former jewelry store $100 - $200ish.
