I was thinking, similarly, that however valuable these gems from the Arabian monarchies might be, I find the jewelry designs banal, unattractive. Surprising given the supreme beauty and elegance of architecture, fabrics, rugs, metalwork and ceramics, painting and prints, etc., in Islamic art. Are the jewelry gifts intended to be generic, so they can be mixed or altered? --Previous Message-- : This diamond demi parure makes me think of the : rhinestone jewels sold in the wedding : stores... : :
