Jewelry, one of the favorite accessories of women gives aesthetic beauty and spiritual pleasure. Would you like to learn more about bracelets from our Jewelry collection? 

The museum’s collection reveals that various types of bracelets (first whole, then later with clasps or left open) have been worn in Azerbaijan since antiquity. In the 19th – early 20th centuries, simple silver bracelets were made in the casting technique in the mold. Flat-relief botanical patterns, sometimes enriched with fine turquoise, decorated their surfaces. Sometimes, the middle of silver filigree bracelets bore a round medallion with a transparent flat stone in its center.

 Gyul (flower) bracelets made by the shebeke method were widespread in Lankaran and Baku.
