BAH bracelet

Post by jane Theis »

To me, it looks like the BAH link was added to lengthen the bracelet, & the owners' initials were engraved on the link to personalize it, & also so the added link would "blend in" to the handcrafted bracelet. This link could also have been added to replace a link damaged beyond repair, so the bad link could be removed, the new link added, & the bracelet could still be worn. It would have been professionally made by an experienced jeweler.
