Gents, 
 
Interesting thread, but at the risk of appearing as thick as I am, How are these bracelets associated with the slave trade? 
By this I mean they don't look strong enogh to have been shackles.... 
 
Please forgive my ignorance! 
 
PS, 
When I first saw these , I thought how like Bronze age torques they were !
