Note holes on opening used for strings to go through, firmly keeping the large bracelets sealed

These are beautiful and unusual. Are they silver?

Beautiful decoration! How big are they?

Very lovely and most unusual! I don`t think it matters that they are not silver. I think it`s the design that "carries" them
