<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 6261897, member: 2844&quot;]While this maker(s) was a very skilled craftsperson(s), this jewellery is still souvenir jewellery. So made for people to have a memento of their trip or pilgrimage. It isn&#039;t fine jewellery as such. And as komo rightly says, even master jewellery makers can have sloppy marks.</p><p><br /></p><p>These bracelets were made in small workshops, often by an entire family working together. The person who stamped the panels may not have been the same person who made the delicate cannetille. The main thing was that it was stamped, a legacy of an old legal requirement in Ottoman times.</p><p><br /></p><p>The stones are colour matched, btw. As komo showed, that is often the case when selecting stones for jewellery.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie79" alt=":shame:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie81" alt=":shy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie59" alt=":kiss:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
