  Quite an attractive pair. Interesting to see how many variations occur in these iconic pieces, of which a good many have survived.

  These are the ones from Abdurham--yes? They look spectacular in the picture. Do you wear them? You know, I see the little red marks which means them are dowry jewelry -- I just love that detail and always look for it when I look at jewelry now.

  Looking again, however, the red spots are not irregular like they are in dowry stuff, but seem to be part of the aesthetic of the piece. No matter, though, they are magnificent.

  Yes, those red spots are deliberate, but I think it is "all good" as they say these days!

  Indeed, these only improve if you look at them longer!

  Very beautiful, did not know the red and green dots were a clue for dowry items, thanks for the info Patti.

  Marie-Ange, as I read it Patti is saying the spots are NOT part of "dowry stuff", but of the aesthetic of the piece.

  Hi M-A, At first I thought these were the random red dots you see on some pieces which tell that they are dowry, but I see now that they are actually part of the piece itself.

  Ok thanks, also have a piece with dots and wondered what it was.
