Bracelet - Saudi Arabia

This is a special and rather old bracelet. The middle section with the stones and diamond shape pattern has been placed on top of an other design of bracelet - quite unique and beautiful!

Dear Peter, a real rich bracelet. Even with this rich decoration it manage to show the warm glow of good silver and age. Looking at it I observe the outstanding quality of the maker. This I admire of the Saudi and Oman pieces the work is always so well executed and finished off. Gr. Ingrid

Dear Peter, this is a lovely bracelet. I have the twins to yours, undoubtedly made by the same person. Alaa attributed this as from the eastern region, towards the gulf. Congratulations!!

Dear Lynn; Many thanks for your message. I will be moving to the eastern part of Saudi Arabia soon and hope that there is something left to purchase there... With kind regards. Peter

Lynn and Peter, congratulations on your bracelets! I'm a huge fan of Saudi Arabian jewellery and just a bit envious right now :)

Is the blue bead turquoise?

Peter, very much looking forward to reading about your reports from the ground!

Just beautiful pair. Granulations and the stones are just fantastic. Very unique in the way it has been crafted. Congratulations Peter

Peter, that sounds like an exciting move, but how are you going to cope with moving away from your dealers in Amman? :)

Dear Lynn; Many thanks for your message. Oh, no worries. There is always the internet... Also, one of the dealers has a family member in Bahrain - just a stone throw away from Al Khobar... With kind regards. Peter
