  EXCELLENT. I don't think you had ever shown me these. (I don't mean you should have done!) Very glad to see such quality!

   I showed another pair on the last posting that was sold to the same client. These are really the high standard of Indonesian gold jewerly to own a pair of these. Hard to find and not on the open market but through  aristocratic families  and collectors their owning them in Indonesia.  These in person were exceptional.

  To my mind they are a top-class item. Finely done, but strong, without being "loud" or over the top. Very good taste and workmanship.

  I love these every time I come past them - and then comment. Hence this is the third time. Fantastic stuff.

  Do you like these best of the three pairs?  I am between this pair and the other pair with the  cloudband cartoosh of granulation.  These were more beautiful in person also.

  I'd really have to look closely and preferably see them side by side. There was another pair which I also remember as very beautiful, and I am not sure whether I didn't even prefer that - but these are also great. Incidentally: MAKASSAR or MACASSAR, not "Mikasar" (I think you got it right elsewhere). I think I put another pair on our EJ&A page. Incidentally, you and I would like these (yet) more than many other people, as we look so much for the quality of the workmanship. I always notice on EJ&A that the greatest applause and joy seems to be be reserved for highly colourful pieces. (Which you and I also like for that matter.)

  THREE pairs - that complicates one's choice? Anyway, I have commented wherever I saw good ones of this kind - don't know now whether I have seen all three! All great, indeed.
