Carmen made beautiful bracelets that always look like solid gold once they are polished out. From Google AI About The Maker: D.F. Briggs Co. (Attleboro, MA) patented their signature "Carmen" expansion bracelets as early as 1901, with production of these gold-filled "sweetheart" bracelets largely occurring between the 1890s and 1922. The company, which was founded in 1892 (or 1882, according to some sources), stopped using the "D.F.B. Co." mark in 1922 when it became Briggs, Bates, and Bacon.
