  Thanks ladies, my collection is small compared to others but I just love every item of it.

  I think I have a pair very similar at home, but I do believe that mine have blue glass as opposed to the turquoise.  I prefer the turquoise!  :-) very nice Marie-Ange!

  Hi Kim, very interesting, try to show them if you want as I don't know them with blue glass.  Also if you have a pair is super, never sell them seperate.

  Many of the pieces I see from Afghanistan have blue glass in them.  I don't think/know it is an original style, but perhaps a replacement for missing turquoise.  Oh and sell?  lol, I prefer to aquire jewellery to wear! ;-)  but yes if I was ever to sell I agree that they must be kept together!

  I know what you mean with collecting to wear as I am the same but I had to promisse my husband if I buy something new another piece must go up for sale and I have some big regrets over some items I sold as years ago most items were plenty available and now are very hard to find anymore.....

  The ONLY advantage I can see in your husband's "command", Marie-Ange, is that it forces you to consider (or so I assume!) which piece you'd LEAST miss. On that logic, your collection should get stronger and stronger, unless he insists that if you buy something what you sell must produce the same price. I hope that is not being imposed on you! What an interesting rule! In our marriage, I at times have to urge Truus to buy, and in general I am at least as eager. Fortunately we also agree in the vast majority of cases on which pieces to buy, though there is the odd time when something is bought chiefly or only by just one of us, whether that be jewellery or something else. I suppose we are an unusual couple in both liking jewellery - and noone has had to teach me to do so, for I liked beautiful things virtually from the time I was born, and not least jewellery. I can still remember pendants my mother wore when I was about three.

  Hi Joost, as you know I mainly collect for personal wear and some for selling to earn a bit etrxa on my small salary to make it possible to buy nice jewelry. As we do not have kids there is noone to leave it to when we die and he is not very interested to sell my items if I die early other than to sell very cheap to get rid off as he has no interest in them what so ever.  I compare it with my fathers stamp collection that means nothing to me but he collected them all his life and knows the value of it, I will be happy to make little money on it to sell.....
