Don't get excited I haven't taken up smoking, though it looks very enticing here! Local people sit around on large comfortable pillows on the floor puffing on these water pipes drinking tea for hours. The aroma is delicious. Nargile, is the name of the "pipe" and there are over 50 flavors of tobacco; mint, orange, vanilla and lavender to name a few. I don't think they actually inhale the smoke, I think it's just for looks!
One of the most amazing things about Turkey is how artifacts from ancient times are just laying around everywhere! This piece of a column is from the 5th century and it was just there in an empty lot between buildings. So much history living side by side with shops selling chips and cola and kids play among them wearing t-shirts from their favorite soccer team. This is definitely a one-of-a-kind piece! the huge 13mm baroque pearls and gemstones make this a timeless piece that's sure to draw attention!
The background is antique silk and it was handmade by the women in Turkmenistan. They save every scrap of material to be remade into beautiful jewelry. I guess we haven't invented recycle as beautifully as they have. $195Yes, it's big ring but certainly not as large as shown! The 22k etched gold plated dome is a classic design surrounded by silver pronged crystals, that could easily be mistaken for diamonds. Sorry you can't see the back it's beautiful and rather heavy! I bought 2 - $250
