This bracelet and necklace set were a recent ebay purchase. The glass cabochons are slightly scuffed but the beads are in great shape and I have always loved box clasps. I'm hoping someone can help me date them.

Thanks moonstone:) Does it look to be from the art deco era or should I change the category?

Thank you toolate2 for the love:)
The components do look to be from 1920-30s but can't tell for sure from these photos if they were made this way originally or combined / repurposed at a later date.
Thank you Davy, is there anything I should look for to tell if it's been repurposed?
I'd suggest researching art deco brass jewelry (necklaces, bracelets) and see if you can find any pieces with the same design with some provenance / proof that they are from the period. Also, see how the beads / strands are attached to the large pieces and whether that way of attaching can be found more often in Art Deco jewelry or contemporary jewelry. The central part of your bracelet is sort of reminiscent of a cape clasp (minus the small box clasp).
Thank you so much for all the info Davy, I appreciate you taking the time to help. The center part of the bracelet is a box clasp and the necklace has the same. Thanks again:)
