AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This original Indian bangle features a brass structure visible on its entire inner surface and edges. The outer surface is adorned with red segments, separated by thin lines, creating a mosaic effect characteristic of certain handcrafted ethnic jewelry. The edges of the bracelet are highlighted by a beaded frieze in relief, adding an additional decorative detail to the piece.

The brass finish offers a slightly patinated look, typical of vintage jewelry. The red segments display shades ranging from deep red to reddish-orange, with a smooth and shiny surface, evoking an inlay or colored enamel. The entire bracelet has a classic circular shape, with no visible hinge or clasp, corresponding to a rigid slip-on bangle.

The object is photographed against a dark red velvet background, enhancing the intensity of its colors and the brilliance of the brass setting. No markings or inscriptions are visible on the part exposed in the photo.

This bracelet evokes a traditional ethnic style, often associated with craftsmanship from the Indian subcontinent, and can easily be integrated into bohemian, retro, or 70s-inspired outfits that value colorful and handmade jewelry.

The visible finishes, particularly the brass work and the placement of the red segments, demonstrate artisanal craftsmanship. This type of jewelry is sought after for its unique character and the authenticity of its materials and manufacturing process.
