  • Great piece Ingrid! It must be really heavy. I simply love it! Peter

  • Hi Nada, I could't find the bracelets I had in mind, it could be that they are sold as they were rather small.  So I am showing you this Jimma bracelet which does have a similar lock.  clicking in.  If ever I do find it they will be shown. Gr. Ingrid.

  • What a marvelous bracelet! I didn't know Ethiopian silversmiths had this clever technique for bracelet closure. It's ingenious! Thanks for showing this magnificent piece.

  • Ingrid, is this bracelet similar to the Dessie bracelets shown a while ago by Lynn? I really like this one a lot.

  • yes Nada, but it is a Jimma version, and I have only one of them. Gr. Ingrid

  • great item, beautiful and precious. love it.
