"Linda, I agree with you. I have sent personal pieces to shows with my husband and put high yet fair prices on them. I made a lovely necklace with tapered red Yemeni coral and two *very large* old Tibetan turquoise beads I purchased in…"

"In another book i have it said opposite. I think the double head is a good indicator of it being worn by a married woman. I will change my other description. thanks"

"I think all of us have felt the same and do that to a certain extent but charging prices un related to anything relevant to a real situation of purchase is just as well saying it's not for sale, so I would be inclined not to sell instead…"

"Wonderful info, Linda. The word "Zopf" in German means "pigtail wig", and the head (the top part of your piece) which we see below is clearly that of a snake. The wig (plait), as it appears here, is itself snake-like too, and…"

Ida Ou Nadif Temporals
"I think for myself I will try and find original ones because I would rather have that but for selling I think some people don't care as much and could use parts as I do for earrings. I will show you some things I have liked in books and maybe…"

"Sarah, I totally agree that this is what happens. I can say from a seller's point of view that I have favorite pieces that I am only willing to part with for the right price. "
SARAH CORBETT commented on SARAH CORBETT's photoimage
"I think that the truth is that the collectors / dealers who know the rarity of their pieces want to keep things which are this rare unless someone is willing to pay a incredibly high price for them...none of them are poor, and the rarity and the…"
Linda Pastorino commented on SARAH CORBETT's photoimage
"I'm not getting it.. who do they think is going to pay that for these things? I find it ridiculous. I guess they were not feeling the pinch from the economic down slide? Europe is not doing that well now either so I'm not sure…"

"If you are looking for pieces to make a necklace , odd ones of these...ie not matched sets, are much less expensive. S x"
SARAH CORBETT commented on SARAH CORBETT's photoimage
"Yes this was in a private collection, and the price makes me think it was not really for sale !"
Linda Pastorino commented on SARAH CORBETT's photoimage
"I remember that headdress you posted. What does 110 mean now.. i have forgotten the euro equivalent .. I had purchased a headdress like that on the trip right before my last one , it was expensive but I don't think the amount you are saying. I…"

"I like these but was looking at the set to get a necklace out of it. I will show you pieces I like and saw and would only be willing to find one or two of those for myself. I had them years ago and sold them by mistake thinking I could get…"
SARAH CORBETT commented on SARAH CORBETT's photoimage
"Yes I have access to dealers private / at home collections.
These are prohibitively expensive for me, and I cannot take guests generally to see them..
