What luck, Lynn! Love the wear on them. And they're a wonderful size too. I only knew of the granulated Ethiopian telsums, but thanks to the members of this site, my understanding of Ethiopian jewellery has broadened.
It's great to see them "reunited", Lynn. You are right, I also think they have been mde by the same person. It's really amazing. Thanks a lot for posting the picture!
(I think with one of them on each arm, you no longer need to worry about keeping fit!)
Wow..these are spectacular. I'm not familiar at all with these as Ethiopian, so thanks for sharing. How lucky to now own 2 to wear! I've collected Ethiopian silver for many years as well, & these are something special...Enjoy! Lynne
They are beautiful Lynn - Congratulations! Peter
Thank you Preethi, Lynne, Peter, and most of all Betty! I think these are nice examples of the jewelry of the common people. And yes Betty, I am fortunate that I already lift weights and can wear them!
I just read that they were not bought as a pair, but as single pieces - really astonishing! I love their beautiful glow! Wonderful bracelet pair!
