Indonesian Brass Bracelet

Flexible band of dark beads separated by gleaming gold rings, closed with an S hook.

This brass and leather bracelet from Bali is from Bali, Indonesia, and is contemporary. Bali has a long tradition of metalwork and jewelry making, with workshops across the island producing bracelets, rings and pendants for local use and for export. Visible is a bracelet made of a row of dark rounded segments divided by short bright metal rings, with capped ends joined by a small S shaped hook. The dark parts are soft purple brown and the rings are polished yellow. It is 2.5 inches long and 3 deep.

Segmented, snug and neatly hooked, with golden nerve.
