<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 5461005, member: 2844&quot;]The style is related to Middle Eastern styles, and maybe the link between your bracelet and the Middle East is the Ottoman Empire. Not that it is that old, but culturally.</p><p><br /></p><p>It has yellow stones, and it has cannetille. Cannetille and yellow stones are found worldwide, but you have to look at more.</p><p>For instance, the brooch is handmade silver, your bracelet is cast brass.</p><p>The brooch is a solid rectangular shape, the bracelet is made of a row of links with trefoil (clover leaf) shapes at the ends, making it look more organic.</p><p>The pin on the brooch has a trombone clasp, which is generally used for Western European inspired higher quality brooches. The bracelet has a basic pin closure, similar to ones seen on folk jewellery from the Balkans, Turkey, the Middles East, etc.</p><p>So to my eyes the two have very different origins.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
