    WOW!  This is quite gorgeous.  I saw one before and thought it was a modified belt buckle but this indeed looks like a bracelet.

    Very beautiful, Peter. It seems like the enamel was actually done in a very refined way using more than one colour in one field (red and white or black and white). Fantastic. Can it be opened at the front?

    Dear Lynn and Betty; Many thanks for your comments. Yes, the bracelet can be opened at the front and has the same closure as the belt. With kind regards. Peter
