I have this bracelet that I believe is silver. I think it is a "Cartouche" bracelet. Does anyone know what the markings are on the inside as pictured below or what the figures on the front mean?

OK, here this might work for the pics:
Any information would be helpful, Is it silver? Is it anything significant or just costume jewelry?

I'm no expert but I do make jewelry - this looks like the marking are purely decorative, and it appears to be silver plated brass. Is it heavy? If so it's probably brass. The front seems to show plating rubbing off, not fine silver tarnish. Hope this helps.

They seem like Egyptian signs and each sign refers to any of the symbols of Egyptian Gods, Kings etc.

Have a look at the following Link for details on Egyptian symbols:
