Beautiful! Must look wonderful on.
Beautiful bracelet. Very interesting dangles that have unique shapes. The shape and design is very new to me "'never saw like it. "Congratulations and thanks for posting this interesting piece.
Simply fabulous, Lynn. I've never seen a similar piece before. I like the way the circles seem to be wrapped with wire. A great find!
Yet another lovely piece, Lynn. Have you any idea of age? I imagine that the little botehs make a soft and pleasing sound when the wrist moves.
Dear Lynn; I could imagine that this is even more north than Turkey. Could this maybe originate from Armenia or the Caucasian region? The rings, forming the bracelet, are looking similar to rings, which are usually hung from belts of these regions. Anyhow, it looks gorgeous to say the least! Congratulations. Peter
A very astute observation, Peter...just found two examples we discussed here:

Dear Betty and Peter, thank you for the great suggestion!! Yes I believe these could be Baltic or Armenian in particular. The wrapped circles appear frequently in Armenian silverwork and also in Levant jewelry which I strongly suspect was made by Armenian silversmiths residing in the Levant.
Thank you Thelma, Mustafa, and Preethi for your kind comments. Thelma I have no idea of age as I have never seen a bracelet like this before. On FB someone asked if it could have been put together by a dealer, and since I have examined the silverwork and I can say that 1) the cuff is original, 2) the silver chain with boteh/paisley shapes is original, as all these pieces are finely soldered. The only thing I cannot say for sure is that the chain was always attached to the cuff since the jump rings are not soldered.
