view of the Ethiopian(Yemini) cuffs, to show the difference in patterns, and qualities. All of them of good silver content. And the difference also in the locks, some are taken along with the design, others a bit more careless.

Truely lovely pieces, Ingrid! As for the "odd" one in the picture - have you ever come across this design with partly gilded decorations? I remember having seen a picture, but can't recall were....

No Betty, not on these bracelts,on some other jewellery yes, but not on the cuffs. But it could very well be on an individual one, to the taste of the giver or wearer if so desired.
