  • stunning!!!

    Linda i can't think of any other dealer with such a great commercial history!!

    With all the jewels you had you could have opened the greatest ethnic jewel museum!!

  • Lovely - I think Sumatra has produced some of the world's best ethnic jewellery. I support what ayis says below. Your collection - if you had been able to keep everything that you have had - would have been of just the standing which ayis mentions. And one can definitely see - running like a thread through it - your personal taste, interest and passion in a way that I feel personally is lacking in the Ghysels collection, good though that is. I feel fully vindicated, the more I see of your stuff, in saying what I did earlier about your standing as a collector. What you keep showing us is something to which the word "awesome" is one that can be applied, along with many others of high praise.
