I am generally not drawn to yemeni jewelry, i find it to be too much sophisticated for it uses loads of filgree ( urban technique) but this bracelet has made my day (my night actually)
Regarding the domes, yemen was an ancient ottoman colony and received much influence from middle east and india.....so no wonder this bracelet recallas so many others.....and yesss there is a defnite link between the breasts suggestive construction of these domes
God bless the master silversmith who made it and the different ladies who wore it through the time and of course you Edith who share it with us right now.
Beautiful pair of braceletes Edith! Quite rare nowadays to find a pair so well kept. Lovely feminine symbols and rare engraved work on the lock. Congratulations! V. I´m hoping to come back to that lovely country soon....
Thanks all for your comments and good wishes. I also hope that one day I will return to Yemen, a really wonderful country filled with kind people and a rich historic tradition.
I join others in expressing my admiration for, and intense liking of, this terrific bracelet - a truly outstanding piece in quality, design, age, etc. Well done!
I repeat my praise!! It does not grow stale on one - well done!
