    I love this.  The refined and feminine filigree is a great contrast against the bold geometry of the coins and links.  Of what origin do you place it?

    1. Dear Lynn; Many thanks for your mail. The coins are Tukish Ottoman. I have an Ottoman Belt, which is featuring the same as the filigree ends - base in pink and the covered by gold plated filigree. Hence, it could be Turkish but I would rather allocate it to the region of Van, very east in Turkey with Armenian influence, etc.. This is just a thought. Regards. Peter
