    Very beautiful cuffs. Since my visit to the Caucasus I have come to be a great fan of niello work. 

    Sadly, its a dying technique. This type of bracelets is really wonderful and not very often seen.

    Thanks for sharing the photo with us, Peter.

    Nice bracelets indeed. Niello work is very simple yet beautiful. I believe those kind of bracelets are made in the city of Deir El Zoor in Syria
