Solid metal 'silver' of almost one kilogram.. fantastic pieces with very unique style... look almost like new 'in perfect shape'. Congratulations Peter. You always come-up with very interesting and great items..
These look fabulous, Peter. Congratulations. I love this chunky style.
It looks like the spikes are solid, are they? Kind regards, Betty
Gorgeous bracelets, I think the two nicest of this type that I have seen. Their weights are incredible, I have trouble picturing bracelets so large. :) Congratulations!
Dear Lynn; Many thanks for your comments. The weight and size is one thing but when purchasing them a couple of years back in Muscat, I have asked the vendor how on earth the ladies are putting them on. He had a simple answer ... he mentioned that at the time these were worn, there were no supermarkets available. Hence, people were not as well fed as today and hence, slimmer... It is sooo simple... With kind regards. Peter
