Thank you Peter. This whole bracelet is very delicate, I really enjoy wearing it. Sadly, these coins are in bad condition so it is hard to get the proper date.

Very beautiful and traditional ornament. I love collecting Kurdish jewelry. Dagmara do you mind if your photos are pinned to pinterest (with credit to you)? If you prefer them to stay only here that is just fine!

Lynn, no problem with pinning to pinterest. I'm using this platform so feel free to follow virtual-artifacts. I'll try to take better pictures during the weekend, these are only temporary but if you like them, share everywhere you want :)
