    Phantastic bracelets, they have enamel or is it niello?  stunning pieces.............................

    M-A, this is enamel ( I just bought one similar this morning!). I`ve yet to see any Bulgarian jewellery that is nielloed. It`s something for me to look out for.

    Sorry about the fuzzy photo!

    These are truly knock out pieces Frankie, do you wear them too?

  • Frankie Carter March 10, 2012 at 4:39pm

    Like you, Marie-Ange, I wear all and as much of my ethnic jewellery that I can without it becoming uncomfortable. My two bracelets aren`t as in good condition as these but they`re not bad.
