Hey Thelma definately allowed and definately a beauty x
Since I find it impossible to choose one favourite item - my fickle mind usually just concentrates on the last one I bought. So I`m going to show the necklace and bracelet I most enjoy wearing together:-
The necklace is the Akka/Tata one that introduced me to quite a life`s ethnic jewellery journey - an adventure I wouldn`t be without now for worlds. The bracelet is from Tibet?Nepal and shows Chepu "of the beautiful face" doing his best to guard the owner from danger.
These two are my favourites: I can't choose between the two - the blue one is very easy to wear and has some fabulous silver in it - it is eye catching - the amber one whilst also being eye catching is my most stunning, I think. The silver in both remind me of Morocco, of my fabulous time over there and the influence that the Berbers had on my designing ability. I have to thank them for that........
Delicious itemems from all three of you. What I like is the diversity of them all, reflecting the diversity of ethnic jewellery as a whole.
I think Faouzi`s ring looks amazingly Kazakh. it even seems to have the gold wash.
Spot on.
Kazakh button with harratine hair ring. I fell in love with it as soon as i saw it. X
I don`t blame you, Sarah. It`s right up my street, too!
