    Dear Mustafa; They are really special. I have never seen them with the pattern carved out completely - fabulous! Congratulations. Peter

    Thank you Peter, These are quite old; based on the hall marks. They were probably crafted by professional Jewish silver smith. As I said in my comments these cuffs were purchased several years ago when old silver was plentiful and cheap.
