Can Anyone Identify This Bangle Bracelet?

Can anyone identify the style/place of origin of this bangle bracelet?

Only a part of it is visible. This photo was taken in 2008 in Turkey. That's all I know so far.


In the center are a pair of ball head posts in a sort of horseshoe shape.



This is a different part of the same bangle. This part also has a pair of ball head posts.



Thank you in advance to anyone who can help. I'm sorry the photos are of such poor quality.

 

Robert, can you find anything similar on the internet to show us what you are looking for?. With the best will in the world people are going to struggle to identify anything with those photos.
Maybe some background info too as to how we can help?

 

All I can identify is a third type encounter...

KSW suggestion would be the best to follow!

Welcome Robert!

 

It most reminds me of Montagnard bangles such as this.


These designs by Julie Cohn look similar.

Handcrafted bronze Caviar bangle bracelet. Blue arrow - is a bead on the surface much like those on the Julie Cohn Caviar Bracelet above.

Green arrow is a narrow spot. Next to it is a bulge. If you imagine it's a right arm, the bulge is the bicep and the green arrow points to the inside of the elbow. This shape looks like those on the Julie Cohn design immediately above.

Red arrow is between the tops of the ball head posts
Yellow arrow is the base of the right post.
White arrow is the middle of three ridges; which look something like the ridges on the Montagnard bangle above.

This looks like cast bronze to me.

The shapes on either side of the two posts remind me of the shapes on the ends of African Manillas.

WELCOME, Robert, to ANTIQUERS! I'm afraid your first quest might be nearly impossible with those two first images you posted! BUT, that being said, there ARE some pretty good sleuths on board here!!!

 

I now suspect that it's a vintage Art Nouveau piece, like this one, but with the gemstones missing.



There are many art nouveau bangles with evenly spaced gemstones.

Question: Could the ball pins/prongs on the piece in question have been holding a (now missing) set gemstone or cabochon in place?

(I know that the intact example I show above does not have the set gemstones held in place in this manner. I'm asking if ball pins or prongs such as these could have been used to hold anything in place?)

 

If those are prongs I don’t understand why there would be a space on the right.
I’m a bit confused here, are you trying to replace a lost piece of jewellery or for insurance purposes?
If it’s being worn in the photo it’s unlikely that a big stone like that is missing without being noticed unless it’s just been lost?

 

The space is actually the lower part of the prong on the right. It's dark because there's a single light source which doesn't illuminate that area.

The stones may be missing because they've been pulled off.

Not trying to replace. Just trying to find out what it is. Not very important.

 

Ultimately, without better photos of your bracelet, we can only guess at what you have.
