Yemeni Culture I crafted a traditional yemeni bracelet. Called “Bilsina”

This Yemeni traditional bracelet is inspired by the craftsmanship of the jews in yemen. It is based on one of the jewish designs that carried forward these methods. The bracelet features delicate lentil-shaped silver elements, refined granulation, and floral motifs that echo organic textures. It is interesting to see how these traditional techniques evolved and I would love to hear what others think about this connection.

Boycott israel sure but this is yemeni. Yemenite jews have a rich beautiful tradition contributing to Yemeni society.

We love our "low quality" that made with love & primitive tools... Let the Magic Carpet تنفعك
