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?

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.
