  • Popularly often referred to as "trumpet necklaces", as they are a distinctive type. This is an excellent example. Well done, Angelo.

  • Congratulations, Angelo. Beautifully delicate and complete. One of the best I have seen.

  • Thelma, I too should actually have added your statement "One of the best I have seen", for that is actually also my own experience, and the word "excellent" in that case does not say quite enough!

  • Thanx Joost and Thelma ….this is one of few favorite pieces in my collection ..and i love Naga jewelry !!!

  • And from you Joost ..the word "excellent ""..i'm flattered !!!

  • How wonderful this is - I love the wear on the brass! I think this is my favourite piece that I have seen from your collection, and you have marvellous pieces.
  • Dear Angelo,

    a very nice piece indeed!

    Also your collection is extraodinary!

    Best regards

    Paul

  • Angelo, this is an extraordinary necklace and I absolutely agree with Thelma and Joost, one of the best I have ever seen.  A piece of art like this will be a joy to you forever.
