Palestinian bracelet.

I bought this silver bracelet from down town Amman. The seller told me that he had bought this from an old Palestinian women. Although it is very similar to the Yemeni granulation work but I believe it was made by Yemeni silversmiths in Mecca and sold to Palestinian pilgrims while in Haj. Would love to know more about this bracelet.

    It is lovely.  I don't know if it is a clue but I have seen multiple bracelets in books on Palestinian pieces which close with this pin design, a pin with a loop and a coin.

    Very nice piece and also interesting story about how the jewellery  moves from one place to other and links the various cultures even in old times.Very nice traditional bracelet.
