The hue tells me either swassa or swassa plated. Not copper, but a 9k gold. I've handled lots of swassa and even once made swassa looking just like this.

The braided silver wire is obvious in color, but I think that the contrasting rings are swassa; they just don't look like brass.

Good to see Shrug back again.

I'm not saying they are not suasa, i just question anyone's ability to be sure based solely on a photo. colour temperature of available light can always fool camera sensors and give incorrect hues in any photograph.
