Very fine and well-composed ... you certainly would have made a fair few people very happy with the quality of your pieces when you sold them. I quite like the fact that there are some colour variations here.

This was a good piece of the type and very wearible. Nicely executed and the color variation adds to the effect

This is the kind of work one typically does associate with Bukhara, in contrast to the heavily enamelled bangles we have been discussing.

the ones I have more issue with are some of the items like the crown style and some piece I have listed for sale, large scale heavily wrought or inlaid in massive sizes and dimension.
