It looks like a one of those chinese finger puzzles....if that is what they are called.......your fingers get stuck in them and the more you try to pull them out the tighter it grips to you fingers....

Aren't they Mexican? i used to get them in my stocking every christmas, or when we went on a really long car journey so it would amuse us for hours.

Chinese Finger Traps. The trick to getting your finger out is not to pull, but to push your fingers forward so the thing losens up.

actualllly... its a snap bracelet....They were popular in the early 90's in the US.  They are a straight piece of metal covered with a colorful cloth that when struck against your wrist slightly will coil around it.  She has a few on her wrist as well if you can see the bracelet bands are the same width
