    ok, I have seen, it is from India. It is always interesting to know this. What I find also very interesting is, that in the countries, where women are treated rather badly (no rights), they have the most beautiful jewellery! It seems so strange to me (Yemen, Afghanistan, India), as if the society had to make up somehow for that!
