    Thank you, Patricia.  I have in my personal jewel case an equally intricately worked Yemen silver bracelet constructed with the same hinge and hasp and a cleverly covered fastener.  As I drive when wearing it, the bracelet attracts my attention with all its careful detail, and I occasionally get lost in the wonder of all the tiny granulated paisleys and other motifs inlaid into the silver.  It is amazing what some silversmiths can do.
