Beautiful silver beads. For an idea for instance you can consult a book about Moroccan jewelry.
But this you've probably already done! I would like to complement this necklace with coral or amber beads.Then you can make two strings!

Thanks Akkie, 2 strands might be better as it is now very heavy to wear!!

my preference would be towards only enameled egg beads and big hollow silver beads to give contrast between coulours and silver maybe by throwing some discreet inter beads in between

Thanks Ayis, will try that, wanted to add some length that's why I put the Amazonite beads in between.

Marie

i find the blue, turqouise beads to cold for the rest. can you make some warm earth colors in between and have a ook at ?

the last tuareg metall beads can be taken away either :-)

good luck

oups. i see that it s amazonite.

still, i see that it needs warmer color in between

Hi Ait, yes you are right must take them out and try something else!

My husband surprised me with a lovely leather handbag from your Ebay shop today!! thanks a lot!!

congratulations Marie. your husband is an artist then.

to make it easy for opening, you have to pull up a bit the bottun and then the wire ( leather long thinn :-) )

i advice you to spray it with a Nanospray for leather. please read good the instructions before using it.

thank you a lot

Yes I was very pleasant surprised by it and I love the bag very much, very artistic made!

Will spray it for protection!

Have a lovely last day of the Year and Happy New Year with all good wishes and good health to everyone here!!
