  • Dear Mustafa; These bracelets are gorgeous! I have a similar pair and will post a photo soon. With kind regards. Peter
  • That will be nice Peter for comparison of these items. Some of these are engraved by hand while others are pressed.

  • Dear Mustafa; Here we go, the photo of my bracelets. They are also hallmarked. However, I do not have a photo of the marks with me as they are at my home in France.

    With kind regards. Peter

  • These are elegant and beautiful.  Mustafa it looks like you have fish and flowers and Peter has birds and flowers.   Can you describe how you clean with the fine sand? 

  • These are beautiful and still with all motifs clear. The bird is nicely crafted. Actually bracelets with particular design are no longer available in the market as far as I know.  Thanks for displaying this Peter, very kind of you.
