Things are not getting much clearer for me

The example of Arti'z archive really gives me the idea that inlay and crowns have been combined on that piece.

As for the piece from Michael with the bone piece.
This is to me feels like a later restauration.

Ps. In the invincible Keris 2 there is mentioned that Suasa was higher appreciated than gold. Seems a bit unlikely to me. any ideas on that ?

Pure gold (or gold mixture 10k or more) were frowned upon by the Prophet as being weak (making men weak). Swassa is 9k and below, about a 1/3 and less gold content and thus not considered gold as such.
