Beautiful, I like this form very much, which is well seen on the second additional picture! Thanks for adding them.
Here is my envy coming through! This looks similar to the one I bought in Morocco on our tour together -- from saffron growing country --Ait Serouha
beautiful and a collectors piece. congratulations. you purshassed a verry beautiful pieces
Thanks all. Patti, I love these bracelets too....I find that combination of silver and black niello and the use of those gorgeous curving patterns very attractive.
Plus, the bracelet feels wonderful when worn. Smooth as satin.
The niello patterns on these are different than the usual patters and the bracelets seem a little less angular, more rounded and worn looking. Love them -- I am always on the hunt for them ( just lost a wonderful one on ebay France, alas)
This is a real beauty. I like how soft and well worn it is, and yet the niello is still present with no loss of the design. I bought one recently where almost all the niello had worn off.
OMG, sorry to give the niello a pass this time, but the enameled barettes on the open parts are extremely delicate
Early stuff and beautiful patina. Congrats
