    That lady in the picture is stunning and so is her jewelry.

    i am fascinated by the silver buttons braming her chest and attached to the corset! they seems to be very italian. Such a lush costume.

    Congratulations for gathering this very important set of rare Albanian pieces!

    The buttons were also typical for Coatia for example...

    Thanx betty, it seems that there was quite an influential Italian fashion on the opposite Adriatic sea shore, which is all natural!

    PS: ...the buttons framing the lady's corset remind me of a hairpin I have with their pyramid-shaped tops.
