The answer

If the deceased mother left behind only two daughters and five sons, her estate is to be divided among them by 'asabah (residuary inheritance), with the male receiving the share of two females, in accordance with Allah’s saying: ﴿Allah instructs you concerning your children: for the male, what is equal to the share of two females﴾. The bracelets are therefore to be divided into twelve shares: two shares for each son, and one share for each daughter. Since the bracelets themselves cannot be divided, they should either be sold and their price distributed, or the heirs should agree upon a mutually satisfactory solution.
