the form is not old african bracelets even if the samples go to the direction
you think it's very new ?? :-( bought it in 1998 more or less .... it looks very "clean" as I wear it very often (my skin cleans VEY well silver !!! I had an old Moroccan "sun & moon" bracelet all black (my home burned completely), and only by wearing it it is now perfectly clean ! :-)
I saw similar ones from Rajasthan ..... ??
nooo ! I don't mind ! I appreciate your comments ! :-) even if you find it horrible, I'll continue to love it :-)
new or old, it is sometime difficult to say. if you buy a bracelet and you live in dry area, you wear it few times and keep it in your jewelry box, it will stay new even after 40 years. just clean it and looks new. specialy massif pieces.
if you ahve a piece, that is thinn, wear it every day and do your work with. the area where you live is humide or near the ocean. ofcourse after few years, it will look like 50 years old.
the new polishing machines, and massif bracelet like this one, keep all the time looking almost new
oh ! don't live in a dry area : I live in a port of Mediterranean sea ..... :-)
i see it now. it is unknown for me, i know from marseille up to the north or west. i have actualay to visite friends in montpellier.
nice area , you are lucky to live there and be not far from many cultures
Absolutely Indian and I would say vintage as I bought one of these 30 years allready, very nice piece!!
