    Dear Betty - They are gorgeous! Congratulations! Peter

    Thank you, Peter (also for your kind comment about the belt buckle).

    Only when I saw the first pieces face to face, I really started to appreciate niello work.

    These earrings, too, are much nicer in real than in the picture. It was difficult to find a pair.

    You lucky, clever lady, Betty!

    A striking set Betty.

    Thank you Ingrid and Frankie!
    I really love them. The only problem is that I do not wear earrings and I find them too beautiful to be kept in a box- they really should be worn. So I might end up selling them... but have not yet made up my mind :-)

    Hey, Betty, if you do decide to sell them, please could I have the first option on them?

    Most certainly, Frankie - I would then know that they are in good hands!
