Thank you all, this was my 50-th birthday present from family and friends, purchased in a wonderful store in Marrakech away from the Soukh, a young man took us inside the maze of little streets to this store. I loved soooo many items, everything I touched was put on a silver plate and after shopping we sat down with a lovely cup of tea to negotiate.

what is really beautiful is that this necklace is solely made out hair rings and adonrments from differnt moroccan region.

Even the silken thick thread is an old item (old belt)

Very balanced, congratualtions

Thanks Ayis, this necklace was very interesting for me as my favorite ring is a perfume hairring I wear all the time.
