That's beautiful - love the combination of vivid colours and silver.
Happy pieces. Love those little green and blue beads with khamsas and crescent moons engraved on them. Never seen those before.
I love the old Czech trade beads...Perez photographed strings of these in his book on Tunisian jewelry. Not always easy to find complete strings of them. Here is a very interesting web site with charts of the glass beads.
