  • This is gorgeous Susi.  Thank you for sharing it and congratulations. 

  • Very interesting jewellery and a weapon at the same time. Beautiful design as well.. Congratulations Susi  and thanks for sharing this with members of the forum

  • Oh Susi, this is beautiful! I love the way the silver design has been applied and been worn off - outstanding! Wtih kind regards. Peter

  • We rarely see Indonesian jewellery here. Thanks for sharing this picture. I can only agree that this is a stunning piece!

  • What a beauty! What is the inner size? Those male braceletshave always much smaller inner size than we are used to.

  • The narrowest part of the gap for inserting your wrist into the bracelet is 1.7 cm. The inner space for your wrist is 5.1 x 3.7 cm. As it is now, it's not wearable for the average westerner. But it certainly is beautiful! I display it on a black steel stand with a group of other Timor bracelets.
