[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 480843, member: 2844"]Welcome, Essence. Gorgeous bracelet. It is from India, I would say ca 1900. Beautiful floral repoussé, and stylized snake head finials. When you see this type of finial on a bracelet it is either from India, or from a region in Asia that has a strong Indian influence. The same goes for this type of floral scrollwork. The snake skin pattern on the sides is very Indian. Asian snake themed jewellery has strong protective symbolism. These bracelets were originally worn in pairs, but pairs were often split up.[/QUOTE]
