    I love them Veronica. To me this is what I call "old" and authentic and this is what I personally like as opposed to newer, more "polished", more sophisticated  forms..........We all have different tastes and ideas about the type of ethnic jewelry we like.........

    Thanks Chantal! I also like the imperfections of the old handmade jewels.

    Diversity of tastes is what spices up this blog!
