<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Figtree3, post: 403106, member: 33&quot;][USER=2844]@Any Jewelry[/USER] , I must divert this thread slightly and bump it to the top. I was in the city of Chicago early this week and visited the Art Institute of Chicago. We saw this exhibit, called</p><p>&quot;Ornamental Traditions: Jewelry from Bukhara.&quot;</p><p><a href="http://www.artic.edu/exhibition/ornamental-traditions-jewelry-bukhara" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.artic.edu/exhibition/ornamental-traditions-jewelry-bukhara" rel="nofollow">http://www.artic.edu/exhibition/ornamental-traditions-jewelry-bukhara</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Bukhara is in Uzbekistan. Unfortunately the photos in their slide show are rather small. These were very very beautiful! And apparently everything belongs to one married couple who are planning to donate the items to the museum.</p><p><br /></p><p>Update: here is a Twitter post from the museum that shows the photos a bit larger. And you don&#039;t have to be signed in to Twitter to see them.</p><p><a href="https://twitter.com/artinstitutechi/status/1019326399306444800" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://twitter.com/artinstitutechi/status/1019326399306444800" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/artinstitutechi/status/1019326399306444800</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
