Very lovely, Jose! That's the first time I see this kind of bracelet. Thanks for sharing ... how old would you say they are?

Thank you very much, Betty. I do not really know. My guess would be mid-XXth c. I do not think they are much older than that.

Very nice and beautiful bracelets. Fine silver wiring and colour combination make these pieces rather attractive.. They look very classical , with perfect condition. Very nice to have Jose

Lovely photograph. They are quite rare.Well done to have collected 3. And as Mustafa says superb condition. Must have been polished with great care...

Dear Jose; these bracelets are really beautiful! I can imagine that it is not easy to obtain these bracelets with this intricate design in such good condition. Congratulations. Peter
