Vintage Tribal SILVER Bracelets PAIR from Rajasthan India

Matched pair of silver bracelets from Gujarat India. Minimalist design is often used for both bracelets and ankle bracelets and has inspired many modern designs. This pair is from the early half of the 20th century and has a very soft smooth worn feel to them. Two-piece design with pin to hold pieces in place. Pin pulls out and one section is removed to open. See photos for more information. Beautifully made with nice weight, made from good tribal silver.  Well constructed and sturdy. Worn smooth and lustrous from long-time tribal use. Slightly oval shaped. This pair is almost certainly too small to wear as ankle bracelets, but fit nicely as bracelets and are fantastic to wear.

Jewelry has been worn in India for over 5,000 years. Jewelry not only has traditional and aesthetic value, but is also considered a source of security in times of financial crisis. The amount and types of jewelry owned by a woman signifies her status in society. The beauty of Indian jewelry lies in the uniqueness of its design and the workmanship involved in creating it. Gold and silver are both used in jewelry extensively in India, being formed into an amazing variety of styles and designs for any and every purpose.  Gold is associated with warmth and the sun, silver with the moon.
