Gold Bracelets
We started our collection of gold bracelets when we first started traveling. The very first one was a 9 carat gold bracelet which we bought in the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul. It was our first exposure to the Middle East and our first attempt at haggling over a price in a market. We enjoyed it immensely and came back to the hotel with the bracelet which we thought we had bought for a bargain price. The following day, we found the same gold bracelets at much cheaper prices but we were satisfied.
Since then we have bought gold bracelets from 9 to 24 carat gold in Jerusalem, Hong Kong, Bangkok, China, London and New York. Last year we bought gold bracelets in Singapore, Laos and in Myanmar and next year we hope we will be shopping in Moscow and St. Petersburg. Our collection of gold bracelets grows steadily. The problem now is that it is so large that I am seeking a way of displaying it. Visitors arrive to see the wonderful collection and we have to take the gold bracelets out of the drawers where we keep them.
I have started working on display boards for the gold bracelets. I have bought yards of a deep maroon velvet which I am using to cover large display boards and I am now working on a mounting system to mount the gold bracelets on the velvet covered boards. It should look absolutely stunning.
