My new favorite bracelet, just purchased at the SF Tribal Show. I'm interested in your comments in light of Hilary's and Patti's recent posts. I was told this was from just south of Marrakech, made by a Jewish silversmith. I'm very interested in the engraved pattern. It is precise and finely executed. But please look at the next photo, taken from the other side. The pattern is slightly different and clearly the difference is intentional...which means it means something. My guess is that is has to do with child-bearing and fertility, especially because of the design of the knobs. Despite the way it may appear, this is a wonderfully comfortable bracelet to wear. Special thanks to Marie-Ange for her guidance in on this one!
Well done Suzan, it is truly a beautiful bracelet, I love the round domes and the etching pattern very much!!
Thanks M-A. I appreciate the discussion we had about this before I purchased it. You were very helpful!
I enjoyed talking to you Suzan and the bracelet is realy beautiful, you made the right choice!!
Lovely
I think Ayis has answered my query about this super cuff`s origin. Lovely work!
Thanks so much Kim and Frankie!
