WOW, splendid pieces Angelo, a great display! The single row cuff looks quite unusual.
I think the round button remains my favourite...
Fine collection !
I think the item in the middle is rare.. I've never seen this before
hello Joanne ….yes …it is unusual amulet case …opens in the back like a box….
the three pieces on at the stand come from Waqar Azeem collection …the bracelets from a private german collection …kisses
Angelo
These jewels are so beautiful and your love comes across in the lovely arrangement and photography. I can't believe you take these pictures with a phone. Also wonderful to see these rare pieces ex Waqar's collection. Congratulations!
thanx Lynn……i give them a lot of space…mostly to pieces that are dramatic and theatrical….
i give high respect to all piece in my collection…and other people collection...no matter high or low silver …..no matter highly crafted or crudely made ….bedouins and nomads …..that couldn't afford expensive piece ,,,,they wanted to feel princess in the desert!!!

another vitrine with some Kuchi/Pashtoon

This is indeed a nice collection Angelo. Congratulations! With kind regards. Peter
Another beautiful image, Angelo. May I ask you about the stands.... the way they disappear behind the jewels? Did you work with a standmaker to fit the stands to the different pieces? And how do the stands support the pieces... I can't see any evidence of support at all. It's magic!
Hey Thelma ..thanx ...
yes each piece has a costume made stand…it's steel wire….the maker he is one of the best on this fields …he makes stands for museums and major auction houses as well private dealers and costumers …i can recognize his work miles away !!!...
Amyas Naegele Tribal Art, NY…sometimes the stand is more expensive then the piece !! LOL
in this particular piece it was $ 60……….the magic is revealed !!!!

Thanks a lot, Angelo. Exactly what is needed for these pieces. Light and strong and invisible..
