  • Beautiful couple.......and by the blue stones it seems almost Pasthun!!
  • That was my idea too but both sellers said it is Middle East or Saudi Arabia.

  • What was there before the blue beads??  did they just leave it with the space open?

  • It seems not logical they used triangle glass as most space is round.

    Yes there is wax around the beads to keep them in place and fill the remaining space.

  • Yes I see them but majority are round......I think you are right and they come from Pakistan Pashtoon.

  • How lucky you are to be able to find 2 examples.. Now you can wear them as a pair and make people envious!

  • two beauties! Love them very much!

  • Very nice pair, Marie-Ange. I saw once a similar one described as Saudi but I seem from the previous comments that they are most likely Pashtoon. Great bracelets anyway!.
