Looks a little bit like the script from a conlang in a story by Chelsea Quinn Yarbro (though it probably isn't that specifically).

"Zen script" according to the etsy listing it's from, but no, can't say I recognize the language. Did you ask the seller?

considering my fourth google result is the etsy store itself (and the first three are all referring to "scripts" in a programming sense), i'm assuming this is definitely just some flight of fancy for the shop owner. especially considering the fact that they sell multiple bracelets with this "zen script" and they're all the same sequence of "characters"

if the seller is using the word 'zen' then it might be a language associated with buddhism because everything about it really does reek of sanskrit-derived languages but i am having an incredible headache over that because it doesn't match just one. so. is it a single line of babble in about six different languages of that variety? (for the record, i totally reposted this to tumblr. http://ohaugustine.tumblr.com/post/21030634905/lets-play-what-is-this-script so far no conclusive answer but it's been very entertaining.) sorry you aren't getting anywhere with this but the guessing is fun. *solemn*

Yeah, so...I know it's an actual religion and everything, but pretty much 90% of the time when I hear "Zen" my bullshit detectors go on full alert. Looks like this case is not an exception.

Also, LOL, reseller.
