Tibetan Bracelet

Posted by Lynn Ardent on November 8, 2015 at 1:40am

This is a Tibetan bracelet of a type which I have seen ID'ed as from Tibet, North India, or Nepal. In high grade silver with large granules and beautiful textures. The red stones are not coral but a kind of resin. Four turquoise and three coral resin stores. More photos in the comments.

Beautiful bracelet. Very nice granulation and good combination of stone colours. Turquoise look very nice with the red colour 'stone'. It looks very rich and heavy, I am sure it will be a good item to wear.

Congratulations.

A delicious piece, Lynn. I love the granulation and its chunkiness. Congratulations!

Dear Betty, Mustafa, Ingrid, Thelma, and Son of Hmong, thank you for your kind comments. Son of Hmong, I will add Nepal to the list of places this could be from... hard to pin it down when so many references list different but highly related areas.
