This is a pair of antique Sindhi Makara head bracelets. With wonderful blue and green enamel. The bodies of the bracelets have an interlocking floral pattern, while the Makara heads are elaborately drawn and feature cut out work. More photos in the comments.

Wow, these are special and not often seen. The third bracelet is slightly different and has an intriguing comment.
