WOVEN SILVER BRACELET

Many years ago I bought several pair of woven silver bracelets in Central Asia. They were old when I bought them from the silver dealer, although he did not know the exact age. This is definitely old, perhaps 50 years, but I cannot give an exact date. It is in fine condition. If you love finely crafted silverwork, these are a beautiful example of the metalsmith's art.

This is one of 2 bracelets I am offering, and the other is in my EBay store. I offer FREE insured USA/Canadian shipping if you wish to buy them as a set.

This one features a pattern that looks like a stylized acorn. The 3 silver ornaments are flexible (i.e. they slide over the woven part of the bracelet, so you can wear them evenly spaced out or all together in the center of the bracelet). The beauty and fine detail of the silverwork is clearly shown in the scan. The bracelet measures a hairline over 7" long and closes with a hook clasp. (This is quite secure, I wore it for years and it never came loose). It is 3/8" wide. You can let this darken over time, or keep it bright by polishing it with a soft jeweler's cloth.

I believe this is pure silver rather than sterling silver (which is .925 silver), as most of the silver jewelry I bought in this part of the world was pure silver.
