The "Napier ©" marking (with the copyright symbol) indicates that this bracelet was made around 1955. The "©" symbol began to be used on designer jewelry after 1955 , when new copyright laws came into effect in the United States. Napier was already a well-known brand at that time, actively creating various metal jewelry for the US market. These clasps and chains are most common between 1955 and 1965. They show signs of wear (fading of color, oxidation of the metal), but are still structurally sound. This reduces the market value but increases the sense of authenticity for collectors.
