most of the above bracelets originate from the Caucasus,
just got a new one to my collection which looks different ...

root cause:

the presence of a tughra which reminds me of the Ottoman tughra
the question is; did I become a victim of a kind of fake/ an immitation or if not, where does this one comes from?

Perhaps members with knowledge of the Caucasus region can advice...?

Any other forum members are also most welcome to share your thoughts
thank you!

The both bracelets originate from North Afrika (Tunis or Algeria) and were made for those who travel, i.e. they were not worn locally and they cannot be considered as ethnographic jewelry...Sorry for the bad news...

No problem and thank you very much for your reply.
No bad news; there is always this risk when buying an item without knowing its background for sure !

Less than a year ago I was lucky enough to visit the Kutaisi State Historical Museum. I was quite taken with this subject and the fine craftsmanship in general. A few pics:
