Hello Houda. What a splendid collection. I particularly like this coral, amber and silver necklace from Yemen. Was this a necklace that was worn by older married women or does it have a different purpose? Do you wear it?
Really lovely coral there, Houda, welcome to the site, Im sure it looks stunning on you.
Warm wishes
Cordelia

Big old original ethnic Yemeni necklace, made with a beautiful Bedouin silver hirz decorated with filigree, silver round beads, and several strands of small real natural amber and red coral Beads the central hirz. and the beads on this necklace are very old and made with good silver, like the two long ending beads and The hirz and the other beads decorated with filigree are silver that came from a bridal dowry necklace made in Yemen in the early 1900s
