[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 4477838, member: 2844"]That bangle would fit many women perfectly as is. I could pass my hand through it, no problem. My wrists are slender, but my hands are an average glove size for a Dutch woman (tallest nation on earth:eek:), and they are not as flexible as they used to be.;) I think the set is brass. Could have been made in tribal Asia (India?) or Africa. I can't see this being Middle Eastern or Nepali. I have quite a collection from both regions. On the other hand it could be Western artisan made. Bridal jewellery generally has value, because it is an investment in the bride's future, as you said. Gold and silver were preferred. Brass jewellery was worn in some parts of the world, more as a sign of identity than as an investment.[/QUOTE]
