<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Figtree3, post: 4069650, member: 33&quot;]Maybe this has already been considered, but the ring and hook closure could have been added by the Met, and not part of an original design. Also, the whole bracelet could have been &quot;in the style of&quot; a certain design, rather than replicating a particular piece. </p><p><br /></p><p>Here is an example of a different bracelet -- one of their current offerings that might or might not be a replica of a real one with added ring and hook closure. They call the bracelet under the link &quot;Hellenistic,&quot; and make reference in the text to a parure in their collection. However, reading the text they provide it doesn&#039;t appear that this bracelet is meant to replicate a piece in the parure. It just sounds like it was meant to evoke the same feeling as the parure does. (And they don&#039;t include a picture of the parure, which included a necklace and set of earrings.)</p><p><a href="https://store.metmuseum.org/hellenistic-gilded-mesh-bracelet-80045219" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://store.metmuseum.org/hellenistic-gilded-mesh-bracelet-80045219" rel="nofollow">https://store.metmuseum.org/hellenistic-gilded-mesh-bracelet-80045219</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Who knows?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
