[QUOTE="kyratango, post: 758767, member: 5006"]Shakudo is hard to find at good price, I have another lucky find, which fits perfectly in my bug jewellery area of collecting! A bracelet with 15 panels depicting all different insects and a snail! Unmarked silver mount. 18.5cm long. 2cm wide. Heavyyy! One hinge needed a little soldering, another is a little distressed but functional. I think it is first third of 20th century, the shakudo pieces were intended for making a bracelet, not alike older pieces coming from Japanese arms/swords. Exquisite detailed bugs and bzz bzz! You can figure how delighted I was to find it [IMG]https://d3h6k4kfl8m9p0.cloudfront.net/stories/8Xu96yfdN2XFF3OhWK27sQ.jpeg[/IMG][IMG]https://d3h6k4kfl8m9p0.cloudfront.net/stories/W4MIMadQP6xH2OfTJoKcJQ.jpeg[/IMG][IMG]https://d3h6k4kfl8m9p0.cloudfront.net/stories/L3rhse.5Qq0ap2Y9Avj8nA.jpeg[/IMG][IMG]https://d3h6k4kfl8m9p0.cloudfront.net/stories/JmLEls-TID4SyOW-BgDopA.jpeg[/IMG][/QUOTE]
