[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 4414402, member: 2844"]Imo, this bracelet doesn't have the finesse of Balinese modern jewellery, but it is spot on for Turkish 'ethnic mix' jewellery. So yes to Asia, but much further West.:playful: We have quite a few Turkish jewelers around here, and their windows are full of this type of jewellery, with the same colour turquoise. The jewelers say it is Turkish made, and I believe them. Turkey has been copying indigenous styles for a while now, much to the dismay of many Ethnic jewellery collectors. They make excllent copies of Central Asian jewellery for instance, but they also copy other styles, like NA. They even make turquoise set jewellery with faces with Plains style feather headdresses. They also mix styles, like you see on this bracelet.[/QUOTE]
