  • this is nice Betty, nice job they have now, i can imagine how beautiful they were as earings

  • Very interesting Betty, lovely corral. the ex-earring looks heavy most have stretched the ear lobes, As a pendant it looks very wearable. Love the granulate pattern on the dome.,  reminds me as a Turkoman helmet.  Gr. Ingrid.
