  • Wow, so beautiful and unusual to see this here. Did you find this in Paris? Or in some exotic location on the other side of the world? So exciting!

  • Incredible craftsmanship. I would love to see a close-up of one of the large elements, please...

    It's a shame we see so little Indonesian jewellery here. Thanks a lot for sharing the pic!

  • Dear Alaa, a beautiful piece indeed - congratulations! Peter

  • Truly amazing.  Like Betty I would love to see detailed photos.  Is it heavy?  

  • Superb!
  • Thanx everyone for the praises
