     thanks, this is a simple piece and although the original cord broke and I had to re string it, I feel it is very pure in it's originality as a worn style Tibetan necklace. I was having a love affair with all things Tibetan at that age and had to have one of these pieces.  It's actualy very small in scale to what I am actually naturally comfortable wearing but I still love the beads and patina. I think my daughter will be next to use it as her name sake is Coral...

    Simple but beautiful! your daughter is lucky to wear it, sorry to hear she has problems with other kids, will pass, is just a fase in life when they have to discover who they are.  Her love for Ethnic jewelry will never go away.  My early passion was for Indian silver jewels as something else was not available in those days, my friends always laughed about it but I still enjoy wearing them.
