three African bracelets 2

as I like to wear them: from left to right:old Tuareg bracelet from Timbuktu, Moorish bracelet, Fulani bracelet, all old, all made of unknown metal alloy. It is easier to wear the smallest (Tuareg) near the wrist, this was just for the photo. As they are all not silver, they somehow match in colour.

  • Wonderful photo and bracelets.I particularly like the Tuareg one...

  • Very lovely combination, Eva!

    Each has its own charm. I love your Moorish bracelet, but the new one and the Tuareg piece are also beautiful.

  • They look great together.

  • Nice combination, my favorite would be the Moorish, although the Tuareg one has interesting hammering and the Fulani looks almost super modern as if it is a twisted cord.

  • @Thank you all very much, at the moment I wear them all, with the smallest near the wrist (not like on the photo). I had wanted the Moorish type bracelet since a Long time, until I found one that was affordable.......(that was some years ago). The Tuareg bracelet I bought myself in Timbuktu (I do not remember whether it was expensive or not, but I loved it at first sight), and the Fulani I just got via Ebay.........this twisted style is often used, also for rings and earrings. It is the heaviest one of them.

  • Lovely collection, Eva! They make a great impact worn like that.
