[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 1082664, member: 2844"]The first one is probably Middle East, but could have been made in India for the Middle Eastern market. Base metal and glass, but a very nice example. The second one is Caucasian niello, as Cheryl said. Could be Armenian, Armenia is also in the Caucasus, and produces niello as well. It is gorgeous.:) Looking forward to the marks. Or worn in a country were women are more petite than you are used to.;) How long is it? These bling belts are still worn by brides who don't have traditional dowry jewellery and don't have a big budget for their outfit. City girls for instance, who just want to look the part for their wedding, but have no use for traditional jewellery otherwise. I won't tell the Armenians.:playful:[/QUOTE]
