A World of Bracelets
Africa, Asia, Americas, Oceanic

Anne van Cutsem




The bracelets chosen for display in this book are from major collections of the jeweler's art that demonstrates the wide range of techniques used in Africa, Asia, Oceania, and America. They form a group of exceptional quality that displays a great variety of forms.

From the standpoint of their shapes, many ethnic bracelets straddle the border area between two worlds: that of prehistory and that of jewelry created by contemporary artists. The author guides us on a continent-by-continent tour, explaining the historic and cultural contexts in which these ethnic bracelets originated.
