  • Wonderful granulation, Angelo. How much does this weigh? Was this like the photo below when you got it and you added the chain? 

  • Hello Preethi….the weight s about 400 gr …and yes ..i added the chain…a friend of mine needed for a photo shoot…she looks fantastic wearing it …i can't post the picture before is published on the fashion magazine ...

    Also i kept the cloth that came with it …for my archival purposes …maybe i'll put back eventually

    Yes ..the photo below is the one from the seller …attractive !1Isn;t it ???

  • Very interesting how one's perception changes when viewing the first and then the second image. We really have to be able to recognise potential even in the most dismal presentations. Hope you'll include more of these juxtapositions, Angelo.

  • A gorgeous and most complete labbeh!!  Congratulations!! If you get this x-ray tested please let me know the silver content if any, I have a similar one in white metal that I have not posted yet. 

  • Hey Lynn …it's low silver …about 500 or less …and the filigree higher about 700 

    Kiss kiss
