These two necklaces are very finely crafted - the magnification of the photos belies this.The longest one measures 16"/ 46cms.The shortest one measures 14.5"/ 36.8cms.I believe the more filigree one could be Bawsani style, the one with granulation Bedihi style.The work is incredibly detailed and fine. I especially like the tiny just-about-cornerless beads.Photos courtesy of eBay seller foxferns.
