Hi Amir, are you sure this is silver??
Hi Marie,i am 100% sure.if anybody has doubts,i can make the testing video same as i did with kashmir necklace.the silver content might not be as high as 95% but it surely is Silver bracelet.there is absolutely no doubt about that.
Hi Amir, no not necessary to do the test I just have always seen these bracelets as Kuchi made from metal / gillet never in silver.
Hi Everybody,i did my research on swat valley bracelet today and wanted to share the findings with you.the bracelet of Hillary madam and mine looks similar in its art.these bracelets belong neither to swat valley nor called kuchi.they belong to Afghanistan.but the work/art of this bracelet is called (swat kari).Same like the multan bracelet art is called enameled in english and mina kari in our language.so this Silver bracelet is from Afghanistan and the art on it is called swat kari.thank you
Regards
Amir
Excellent, Amir! How interesting. And now I can understand why the misunderstanding occured. I am very familiar with mina kari. Now we have learned about swat kari. Those sellers calling it Kuchi should know about this and describe it properly.
