The cuff bracelet is cast brass with 12% to 18% silver and 26.5% gold gilt inlays with large protruding bosses at the sides and smaller rosettes along the flanges. This style originates in Medieval times in Macedonia and Thrace as a fertility symbol that was presented to brides on their wedding day. The first ring is nickel-brass with a rosette face inlaid with red, green, and blue faceted glass. The other ring is 94.16% sterling silver, with a thick shank and lovely applied granulation and wires around the central glass inlay. The Venetian Murrina inlay is comprised of multicolored canes of glass cut in cross-sections to reveal the inner layers which creates the eye like patterns. The Bedouin earrings are also high-quality silver between 94.23% to 95.67%, and consist of silver sheets rolled into a hollow conical shape with foliate shaped wirework and granulation decorating the front and base of the earlobe hook. The bracelets and rings are wearable, but the earrings would need added ear hooks due to the inelasticity of the original wires.
