This gorgeous bracelet (I'm green with envy) dear Jose. M is signed "Hanna" which means that they are the work of Yacoub Zakariya who always signed his work "Hanna", the name of his father. He started his work in Nablus and worked as a silversmith in Jerusalem and then Bethlehem until the 1967 war when he settled in Jordan. I don't think he's alive still, but I thought you might like some history! Where on earth did you find it?
Thank you so much, Nada for all that wonderful information. I love this bracelet but now I will even more. I always wanted to have one (actually a pair...) but I could not find it. I then some moth ago I saw a seller on Ebay France who was selling a lot of five bracelets but .... I was only interested in this one and another one (a Hebron one). I akked him if he could sell me only those two and he did!.
Splendid and Nada's information is very interesting. Its very unusual (to my limited knowledge).
