Indian Silver Bangle

A small heart sits in a ring of dots, and the band does not pretend otherwise.

This silver bangle comes from Rajasthan, India. Silver bangles and anklets are commonly worn in many parts of India, often as part of a woman’s regular jewelry. The hoop is hinged and opens at the top, with a rounded boss at the center set with a dotted border around a small raised heart shape. On each side the band swells into a ribbed section stamped with fine diagonal lines and small bumps. The silver has a soft, dull grey cast with darker lines in the recesses.

About three inches across. Wear it, or let it hold your keys.
