Frankie, - Are these as bright as the others on your photographs?? I like the flower motifs on the front!
These are the same anklets as in the preceding and following of my photos. They are taken under ordinary electric light whereas the others are taken in daylight. The flowers seem to be characteristic of this type of anklet.
very interesting to compare the colours in different types of light! (I am besides ethnical jewellery also very interested in photography and art - and I often noticed that different types of light can change the look of jewellery almost completely).
glorious enmaleing. Dense and very balanced. I love it when the enamel highlights silver carvings
Absolutely agree with all of the comments about these beauties and I am green with envy.
I love that too, ayis! I can`t imagine that I will ever own anything that will top these in my own estimation. Sadly no more are currently available. Possibly never will be.
Patti, you can`t imagine how many of your own items I`m green with envy over! Flared bracelets come immediately to mind! But how I do enjoy such an envy. I wouldn`t have it if I weren`t aware of the existence of such. And the fact of that enlightens my own existence immeasurably. So I thank you for that!
Perhaps instead of a "Like" box we should have a "green with envy" box to check. I am green over these beauties as well.
Such a nice comment, Toya, thank you. But you`re another one whose items I can happily lust after!
