    I have seen many photos of these bracelets, but yours are my favorite.  The design of the filigree lattice, leaves, and studs is incredibly artistic and expresses a strong point of view.  If I were in Australia I would visit the exhibit in a heartbeat!

    I very much hope you will actually visit Australia some time, Lynn, and while we are alive. Similarly so in the case of many other ardent (no pun intended!) collectors. But I admit we are a long distance away from many people, so in many instances they won't want to travel the distance. We accept this as the main disadvantage of living in Australia ...

    Beautiful Pair. Being in gold makes them even more attractive. Design is very fine and detailed. It is nice of you to post this pair so that it could be seen by many people who have no opportunity to visit the exhibition.

    Thanks for that. Good luck Mustafa
