Elaine

You could assume that the design of a focus would be something recognizable as what it is. So if she saw the previous focus she would know, as a wizard, if the new focus was better or worse than the previous focus by looking at the construction. Kinda like looking at a Model T versus a Tesla. However it's your theory, run with it.

Apparently it was recognizable to Elaine.
Yuillegan:
Where does she see the bracelet? She is commenting on the skill of his new SHIELD. Not the FOCUS. Can't be any clearer.
Bad Alias:
My thoughts:
1. Elaine and Harry have the same base education in magic.
2. They can likely guess what a focus made by the other will be used for if they see what it's made out of and markings on it.
3. Elaine saw Harry's previous shield bracelet.
4. Elaine comments on the difficulty of making Harry's improved shield bracelet. ("I'm not sure I could have made a focus for something like that. It took real skill.")
5. Elaine was in the charge that Harry took down with his shield in Summer Knight. Chapter 32 is where the cavalry charge happens. Harry raises a shield against the horses, but not the riders. After the fight with Slate and Talos "only one warrior was still mounted, another slender Sidhe in green armor and a masked helm." In the second paragraph of Chapter 33, "the warrior in green armor" is revealed to be Elaine. Elaine saw Harry's shield and his shield bracelet in Summer Knight.

Elaine & Kumori, the same person? What is this theory based on?
