I don't know much about this bracelet. I'm guessing India and I know that the bone was henna-ed. Would welcome more information!

    Yes India, the heads are elephants and the bone is ivory.

    Thank you Marie Ange. Were they always made with ivory ? I can't see cross hatching on it

    To my knowlodge these older ones were always made of ivory.

    Poor elephants! Thank you Marie-Ange.

    Hmmm.... to me the enamelling has rather a chinese aspect to it.

    The ivory is likely to be indian, I guess. Really nice, wherever it hails from.

    I was about to say "Well, the seller seems to think it`s Indian" when I realised......!

    I`ve had it tucked in my cart!

    Most of these hennaed bracelets are from India. But they`re mostly bone and, as these don`t display cross hatching, perhaps we don`t have to worry about elephants.
