Lovely! The silverwork is beautiful.
Yes, unfortunately the photo does not do the deep patina and wear patterns justice!
that Looks great, and very unusual! Never seen here before!
In practice these were often not worn on the wrist - though they could be! - but were held by the fingers when dancing, particularly because they rattled. A nice, typical example, Hillary. See also my wife Truus's book, p. 197 with two shown - one of them very similar to yours.
