Exquisite Gypsy Tribal bracelets, mid 19th century
*













*
This pair is an example of creating exquisite jewlery by weaving metal into thread.
As can be seen, each little floret is individually woven into the cotton twine to create a bracelet.
Several gypsy peices have gold woven in, in a similar fashion.
In this piece the end have been rewoven to save the thread from age related deterioration.
