    Peter please share with us how/where do you find these gorgeous pieces. I am a collector of Albanian Jewelry myself and I am so impressed by the amount of gorgeous pieces you have in your collection

    Dear Violet,

    Thanks for your comments.

    I bought most of my Albanian jewelry from the same family. I guess that their parents have passed and they sold their inheritance. I was so thrilled to have the opportunity to buy these unique pieces.  Albanian jewelry is among the best!

    Thank you for sharing, should you ever decided to sell some of these Albanian pieces please let me know!
