I just purchased this lovely silver bracelet, which I suspect *may* be an "Aswareh Habbiyat" Palestinian bracelet, as it's similar in design to others crafted in Nablus, Palestine. It is hallmarked 90% silver. It almost appears to have stylized fish in the design. Can any of you help me identify the origin of it? Lots of granulation and beautiful scrollwork. I LOVE it! It might also be Yemeni or Omani in origin, but I am definitely leaning towards Palestinian.

I agree with Betty, it was made in Bali. Very beautiful detail. The style originated in neighbouring East Java, but is now mostly made in Bali.
I would also lean towards Asia.
I am pretty sure it is from Bali. Lovely work!
Beautiful bracelet good score something to be proud of for sure..I agree its not Palestianian though... it looks more Indian than anything to me with those raised baubles & swirl inlaid patterns & close knit dot work which are common in their work..like the images below it has similar working pattern style..thanks for sharing it with us in here to admire..
Definitely not Palestinian or Yemeni or Omani. It looks Asian to me.
