  • beautiful set Linda. museum quality i deem these. are these in your private collection?

  • I sold these a few years ago.  i have two sets of my own that are very different to these but in same group. These are the only large ones other than my two pieces  I have been able to find to find.

    My own are posted on this sight I think long ago. I'll look

  • If you go into my Central Asian albums they are there on page one and then go to page four or five and see the other which is also a necklace style attached to ear pendants.

  • hi, the other 2 pairs that are in your private collection are also amazing and i saw those before indeed. this pair has very nice granulation work and as bonus the remnants of green enamel that makes it very mysterious. should you ever find something similar again please let me know.

  • Good pieces!

  • Wow these are very special indeed!!

  • Yes  they are very special.

    I had sold these a number of years ago but also have some myself that I listed way back as well and also sold a pair recently or lets say they are sold but client has not seen them as yet.. purchased from a photo. that are same ilk but different.  These are really rare items. I have had only mine for longest time, then this one I sold a number of years ago and this was it until the recent piece. So four pieces in all that I have myself handled in over 35 years of dealing.
