this is spectacular! I love these! (But too expensive for my budget......). Wonderful necklace. I have a few single beads only.

I quite understand Eva ....we may all thank (this is ironical!) the perverted aspects of globalisation! Few years ago ( about 7) before the explosion of the hight tech various machines these costed about1500€...but the world wasn't a village yet with different rules about the same activities and about the same objects like now...that's life and we have to follow and to go on ...best regards Michel
