  • A stunning cuff - I love it.  I am sure Mustafa can say more about it.

  • 2463669208?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024This is a beautiful cuff with very classical design. These types of cuffs are quite long and used to be very popular in old time. This is evident by the fact they are quite common.

    An example of similar cuff from my collection which is machine pressed

  • Absolutely gorgeous cuff.  Preethi do you wear it? 

  • Thanks Betty.

    Mustafa, thank you for sharing an example. Yes, a typical style, but my favourite ones are the cuffs that are pressed with coat-of-arms like patterns.

  • Lynn, sadly, it's just a bit too big to sit well, and long cuffs like this have to be the right size. I've worn it once and that over a long-sleeved dress, which seems to work.

  • Dear Preethi; This must have been quite a stunner when worn! It is really beautiful - Congratulations. Peter
  • Dear Preechi: This is really a  beautiful cuff, which also seems that it is still in a perfect condition like new;  but you have said it has to fit as it is long. I do not understand however  what you meant by  "coat-of-arms like pattern" ?

  • Hi Mustafa, there's probably a term for the pattern, but the type of bracelets that I would very much like to find are the two on the bottom row in this image. The pattern I refer to is on the bracelet on the left.

  • Thank you Preethi for your comment and picture of bracelets. All of them are with nice pattern. I see you like the narrow ones at the bottom. The one on the left has a very nice pattern . This pattern is 'was' very popular for Tripoli area. It is also a classical type of pattern that sometimes called ' Istamboli'. The bottom right one is very rare now and it is called 'Deblej Mfakren' again I think it is very beautiful.  I can see that you have a very nice taste as the ones you prefer are light, narrow and also very popular in urban areas such as Tripoli.
