Breathtaking! I had not seen it before just catching a glimpse as it played on the screen. Lovely.
The enamel is very nicely preserved here.
Anna Garner-
Thanks very much! I love the blue, and gold and silver together is so different.
Maggie
I had no appreciation of sun and moon bangles untill I saw one enamelled. To me that puts them into an entirely different class.
The blue champ-leveed enamelling puts me so much in mind of the Multan enamelled moon bracelet that Amir supplied me with.
Maggie, yours is lovely!
HI Frankie,
Thanks! Champ-levee enamel is an old style here found in Northern-style and Jewish-made pieces and is delicate as well. If you want, take a look at this new Ebay listing of enameled bangles, unusual-

@Maggie, Scrumptious! Thanks for the link.
That is most surprising to me, Maggie, in that I had not known of such before. The Jewish bracelets are delicate and lovely. Together, as you have them, they make a great impact.
( I don`t suppose you know it but I have actually faintly heard your voice on the phone!).
HI Frankie,
Thanks, I am glad you like them. How have you heard my voice on the phone? Were you in Marrakech with Sarah when I Skyped her about her web site? :)
Maggie
I don`t know what you were discussing but, yes, Sarah and I were taking a little refreshment together in the riad when you called.
Iam, of course, familiar with your website too.
Frankie.
