[QUOTE="IvaPan, post: 9865588, member: 78949"][ATTACH=full]494881[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]494883[/ATTACH] Well, this is a pleasant surprise for me :) Although I am more interested in aesthetics of design rather than in precious metals (and silver is not that precious) but still... Absolutely, geographically it is true but somehow in my mind North Africa is "East" and Western Europe is "West" :joyful: maybe because of those cultural and ethnic markings that shape our views on regions and societies. Ah, so we are not alone :joyful: I thought it is because we (Eastern Europe) are much closer to that region than you (Western countries) and from our perspective is is "near" and from your perspective it is "in the middle of the road towards East" but now as you said it I wonder where the term "Middle East" came from... The photos of the other ring with transparent bright green glass cab (there are bubbles inside). Can it be Turkish?[/QUOTE]
