I'm inclined to say 60's because of the lime green A line dress, and it's interesting to have a female spaceman on a charm bracelet to say the least!
 
that's cute!
Love the space theme but don't recognize it from a book.
the bracelet looks 60s to me.

The only thing I can think of is The Jetsons, as a 60's space age children's cartoon, but it doesn't seem themed to that show in particular.
 
SHE may be a Martian....as I recall, there were girl and boy Martians! The catch and the chain look 60s to me and I have many pieces that the enamel is in great shape. Some of the 40s Coro and Trifari had great enameling and it held up very well. But, of course, it's hard to tell from a photo.....need to actually hold it in your hand and see it in person.

I'd been thinking how much like the bracelets my daughter buys at Claire's this one is... but now that you mention it, that type of catch isn't used on current novelty charm bracelets I've seen.
 
I think it's '50's. The catch looks '50's to me. Charm bracelets were really "in" in the 1950's through the early '60's.

I didn't watch them but if you Google 1950s Space TV programs there were quite a few.

I can't quite tell what some of the charms depict but one of them is defnitely a spaceship! Sputnik which really started the race for space was launched in 1957. The spaceship on the bracelet reminds me a little bit of the one on this panel you showed on another, thread, Linda:

If the bracelet is not '50's, I don't think it's any later than early '60's. (I have lots of early pieces with great enamel. But it looks to me that there has been some enamel loss on the bracelet which would be consistent with age.)
