  • Very beautiful indeed Lynn - congratulations! Peter
  • wonderful bead, I love all the tiny filigree.

  • Hi Lynn, for sure very delicate, looking close one can see that the shapes used are also in the main necklace but on a larger scale.  What I find  amazing is that all these shapes, such as the granulate balls surrounded with a circle of fillegrain, and the salmiac figures are exactly what is being used in Yemen and Ethiopia, and still it manages to have its own character. Gr. Ingrid.
