no, it's not a bracelet (which is 手镯/镯子)

Editor: "not a bracelet"
It is a bracelet, actually -- but yes, it's a specific kind, much more commonly referred to as a "chain bracelet" than a "wrist chain".

"no ... a bracelet ... is 手镯/镯子"
If you want to be pedantic about the nomenclature, then 手镯 seems not to be a bracelet, actually, since a bracelet is "an ornamental band or chain worn around the wrist" [Webster], whereas a 手镯 apparently can't be a chain, judging from Google Images and the definition (環形飾物).
