The Daalder Collection of Ethnic Jewellery and Adornment, after 2007
Bangle from Bulgaria

Bangle from Bulgaria

Like many ornaments from Bulgaria, this piece does not draw on precious materials, but as a result, the bracelet has an honest and lively appeal. Concerning its origin, it would probably be more accurate to say “made in what is now the province of Edirne, Turkey (historically part of the region of East Thrace), close to modern Turkey’s borders with Greece and Bulgaria. Hence examples survive in modern Greece and Bulgaria.”
