<p>[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 214927, member: 2844"]I agree, though it is beautiful, the craftsmanship is not up to the standard we are used to in many countries. That is why I think it could have been made in a country where the craft is learned from an early age in small workshops, like somewhere in the Middle East or smalltown India. The design is generic and would appeal to people anywhere in the world.</p><p>Attached are pictures of a gold and turquoise ring made by an Armenian jeweller in Teheran in 1970, and the back of a panel of a Saudi or Yemeni bracelet. They are both lovely and I enjoy wearing them, but look at the detail.
