Yemeni necklace. I made the threading. The original one was badly damaged.

Stunning, I love all the tiny elements in Yemen jewellery. Very clever to be able to make the threading for it. Where purchased? Yemen or someplace else?

Hi Alicia,

Wonderful - is there any way you could explain how you did this? I have the components for a full necklace, including little coral beads, but have no idea how to create a finished product like yours.

You seem to have done a very good job! I like the idea - not a totally made-up piece, but really a restored one, and your work looks great.
