About the Item
This striking 19th-century silver bracelet from Rajasthan is more than a piece of jewelry—it is a piece of history. Entirely handmade and weighing nearly 400 grams, it exemplifies the unique fusion of ornament and security that characterized many forms of traditional jewelry in India.
In rural Rajasthan, where banks were scarce and theft was common, people often transformed their savings into wearable silver. Jewelry like this bracelet wasn’t merely decorative—it was a form of portable wealth. Women would wear such pieces daily, ensuring their hard-earned money remained safe, literally on their bodies. The silver was both a display of status and a discreet form of financial security, always close, always protected.
This particular piece features bold proportions and intricately hand-tooled patterns. The repoussé work and densely packed beaded motifs are typical of the regional tribal aesthetic. The bracelet’s sculptural shape and the rich, aged patina reveal decades of wear and tradition, carrying within it the stories of the hands and wrists that once wore it.
