    I like the filigree work very much and also how the small pieces are in order to make an outstanding patern. The coral and coins dangling from the cloth just make perfect! Beautiful find Peter , i salute you on aquiring such a piece.Br

    I think it is delicate and beautiful. I love the coral contrast with blue beads. Really very pretty. Thank you for sharing this with us Peter.

    Peter I have missed your latest batch of photos while I was busy, and I will have to go back and comment through them all as they are wonderful.  This necklace is STUNNING!  Did you buy it in Jordan or online?  Do you have any idea where it was worn?

    Dear Lynn; Many thanks for your message. I bought this necklace in Jordan and believe that it is Palestinian-Ottoman. The way the corals and other beads are arranged, reminds me of the Bersheeba region. This would fit a veil from there very well. With kind regards. Peter
