    Dear Mustafa; These bracelets are gorgeous! I have a similar pair and will post a photo soon. With kind regards. Peter

    That will be nice Peter for comparison of these items. Some of these are engraved by hand while others are pressed.

    Dear Mustafa; Here we go, the photo of my bracelets. They are also hallmarked. However, I do not have a photo of the marks with me as they are at my home in France.

    With kind regards. Peter

    These are elegant and beautiful.  Mustafa it looks like you have fish and flowers and Peter has birds and flowers.   Can you describe how you clean with the fine sand?

    These are beautiful and still with all motifs clear. The bird is nicely crafted. Actually bracelets with particular design are no longer available in the market as far as I know.  Thanks for displaying this Peter, very kind of you.
