Linda what a most stunning pair of cuffs. Never seen such outstanding file grain work. I am not a lover of excessive decoration but the whole item gets my full admiration. Must have been for royalty ? You really knew and know what to collect. Thank you for sharing. Gr. Ingrid.
hello Linda, what an absolutely beautiful pair of cuffs, something very rare indeed, kind regards, zhanna grace
I have had these for quite a while but they have always been for sale. I put them out, take them back and use them myself because i'm tired of most people not seeing the beauty and quality of them. The silver is the most pure it can be, most beautiful patina. The work and three dimensional quality is the best of these types of bracelets i have seen. I don't know if these were used by anyone important. What i think is that they were made for export maybe,not sure. The work is the work of a very experienced jeweler. I have seen other similar style cuffs but non that were so well worked or well made or as nice in the silver quality. So if anyone is interested in owning them , and they look great on, they are available !
These are really beautiful Linda. And I agree with Ingrid, you really have compiled a spectacular collection.
