Yemen? bracelet-worn

Wonderfully worn solid silver bracelet with minor repairs. I have not seen many oft these yet - those I found were either said to come from Yemen or Turkey/Syria. Any more info would be highly welcome.

    Could this be a Moroccan or Algerian piece which is not enameled?

    Thanks for your comment Lynn - yes we discussed this option (and it cannot be ruled out entirely; see comments below 2nd picture of this piece), but it seems more likely to originate from the Levant or Turkey. Whichever is true, it's one of my favourite bracelets which I enjoy wearing a lot:)
