Beautiful bracelets. Nice to have a set which look very well preserved. Colours of stone combination make them even more attractive. Are they hollow or solid silver ??
Very attractive Lynn, love the hidden mechanism.! Gr. Ingrid.
Simply fabulous, Lynn! Congrats. I love the glass flowers and the smooth silver. Very, very beautiful!
What fantastic bracelets, Lynn. I love the way they are engineered and the fact that they seem to have survived intact. Have you any idea of age?
Dear Angela, Mustafa, Ingrid, Betty, Preethi, and Thelma, thank you so much for your kind comments.
@Thelma, these bracelets are not recent but I have no idea of the exact age. There are not enough references for Pakistani jewelry. Probably mid 20th century or earlier.
@Preethi, you have sharp eyes. It is blue-green glass around the central flower, and then a different color of yellow-green glass in the next flower. The two colors of green glass are very interesting and beautiful.
@Mustafa, the bodies of the bracelets are hollow but nice thick silver so they are sturdy.
