  • just to show  these are compleet new ones)

  • yes, one can see the difference, if compared to Betty's. Still, These are incredibly nice too! Like them a lot!

  • Thank you Eva, eventhough they are brand new, that means made in about 1995 but already on sale in 1963 when I first arrived in Ethiopia always in silver. But it is beautiful  work done by highly skilled silversmith from Ethiopia  this type of work mostly by Tigrian people.  I had about three jewellers supplying me with new beads and one of these made also the Telsums.
