  • Exquisite.So delicate looking.love them......... 

  • @Thanks Chantal, they are really very dainty. (Hope to be able to wear them sometime when I put my hair up...... just for fun)

  • Make sure you dont lose them. They seem  quite rare (at least in my limited knowledge of Ethiopian art).

  • @Chantal, it is just an idea (to wear them some day......., if they seem to be slipping, I will only wear them for a photo), but will wait for the right moment...  Also I bought another one, will wait for its arrival first.
