Sardinian traditional jewellery

Why not starting my first blog talking about the traditional Sardinian costume and the beautiful jewellery that women used to wear as part of such outfit? I think this will help understand why I grew up with such a passion for jewellery (at the expense of my hubby’s joy!).  As words cannot describe an image or an object, I thought to share with you some pictures that I found on the web. These are most likely pictures taken at one of the many ‘sfilate’, sumptuous parade of traditional Sardinian costumes - brightly colored clothing with many ornaments such as rings, earrings, brooches, necklaces. Enjoy it!
