Also a wonderful necklace!

Yes, a fine piece, Marie-Ange. It is interesting to see the various forms these have. In *Ethnic Jewellery and Adornment*, p. 386, Truus shows ours, which is more "grandiose" but not necessarily better as a result, and would certainly be much harder to wear, as it is really very large and heavy.
