    Hi,
    I have purchased this bracelet, out of curiosity :)
    I wonder if it’s the real deal.
    It has silver clasp tested.
    I am certain that the panels are shell, probably Mother of Pearl.
    I would like to ask your opinion on age, paint, design?
    I can see Makkah building and some birds and some people, I wonder if they tell a story.
    Thank you.
    Kind regards,
    Simona

    Persian story bracelet, indeterminate age. A lot of these are found damaged. Don't sell it on eBay; they don't like Iranian jewelry or anything from Iran.

    I don't understand either.
    It is not antique, if that is what you mean.

    The bracelet is from Isfahan. It looks mid-20th century.
    What is Makkah?
    The building seems to be the Lotfallah mosque in Isfahan. The buildings on these painted MOP panel bracelets are usually on Naqsh-e-Jahan square in Isfahan, where these bracelets were sold.
    Symbols of Paradise.
