[QUOTE="lizjewel, post: 4477863, member: 13874"]I agree that there are people who can wear small bangles but when I was selling jewelry they had very limited appeal in the U.S. anyway. Have read (can't find where exactly now) that when women in some cultures died, including Nepal, Tibet, Bhutan, Mongolia, it was bad luck for their descendants to wear the jewelry so it was sold. Which is why it is seen in the bazars of those countries, said before. India has always been a big producer of brass jewelry. I have sold many brass collars, bangles stamped Made in India. Here's a typical example of a contemporary gilded brass collar from Dehli, per the ad: [URL]https://www.indiamart.com/proddetail/rawat-handicrafts-brass-hasli-jewelry-21570641033.html[/URL] This one is a little fancier than most.
