Filigree Bracelet - Bulgaria

This bracelet is of high silver and in almost perfect condition. Not many of these bracelets have survived as they are quite fragile due to their high silver content and filigree works.

  • Dear Peter, this is beautifully crafted ... Have you cleaned it yet? I love the way the filigree shows through at the back.

  • Dear Thelma; Many thanks for your comments. No, I did not yet clean it. I like it the way it is. I usually only softly clean my items, hence, I am cleaning off the dirt with a special biodegradable soap. With kind regards. Peter

  • Dear Peter, this is a wonderful bracelet. Outstanding, but it puzzles me.  I see file grain on the outside with underneath a solid layer.  Than looking at the inside view, again file grain. Is this a stunning 3 layer bracelet?  Love the symbols on the delicate file grain. Another treasure for your collection. Congratulations. GR. Ingrid.

  • Lovely filigree. I very much like those multiple hinge bracelets, they often come from Bulgaria.

  • An outstanding professional filigree work. It is a fancy piece in almost perfect shape... Congratulations Peter for this museum piece.

  • Dear All; Many thanks for your comments. @ Ingrid; No, it is not triple layered. The twisted silver wire is the frame on which the filigree has been attached to. It is a solid but at the same time also very delicate bracelet. With kind regards. Peter
