These are incredible especially the pair on the right!! but i beg to differ, thinking about maybe the subcontinent for the cuff and somewhere in the middle east for the pair! Just guessing
Gorgeous bracelets, Peter! As Alaa already said they are not typically Rashaida. I would also settle for India as far as the large piece is concerned. Would it not narrow down possible origins to consider the fact that the pair have only one hinge each which doubles as the closure? I vaguely remember that this was for example common in some Turkish pieces?
The large spiked cuff looks Rabari to me. The small cuffs I have never seen before, and they are delightful.
