Exciting collection. Love the ribbed bracelets. Gr. Ingrid.
This looks gorgeous! I just love the anklets with the red dots and marks on it - extraord
Love this collection too!
I recently found two similar bracelets to the one in the top right corner. Do you happen to know the exact origin of this piece? I understand from your remark that you acquired all these beauties in Ethiopia?
One more question: what's the small item lying inside the aluminum bracelet at the centre of the pic, please? It looks like some sort of a connecting piece...
Thank you Peter!! :) Thank you Ingrid!! :) Thank you Betty!! :)
Hi Betty, the small item on it's side is a connecting piece, really interesting one. I am looking forward to making something with it. :) Some of the pieces are from Yemen, also Ethiopia and found some in South Africa, although originally from Southern Ethiopia.
wonderful collection, love them a lot. Some of them I have in my own collection, of which I wear some.
Thank you Eva!! :)
