Austrian chain cuff

Austrian bracelet with pearls and inlaid glass , very high grade silver , late 19th cI have found new evidence that contradicts a book calling this Bulgarian and now feel that it's Austrian as I have found it in several places. These were both bracelets and as well larger chokers.

Love the combination of the colours with the dark lacy background!

yes it is unusual that this has color to it. I would have never known what this was if not for the books I have on Bulgarian clothing and jewelry that I got not too long ago.

Similar ones were also worn in the south of Germany, mostly as choker necklaces, though.
