Designer necklace in Moroccan style by myself with 4 African amber hairbeads, 3 large old silver beads with danglers, 6 Tanfouk hairrings, carnelian beads , old coin pendants, 2 old spindle whorl beads and cristal quartz beads at the clasp. The simulated amber hair beads have 4 holes in each bead, very hard to get these on the market anymore. The simulated amber beads (not fossil amber) are quit large, between 2 and 3 cm (0.8"-1.2") in diameter. The silver ball beads are 3,5 cm (1.4") in diameter. Length of the necklace is 57 cm (22,5"), weight is 272 grams.For sale : 300,00 euro.

    It's quite a mixture, but it works well, and traditionally Berber women have also put together necklace using all sorts of different materials, so in a way you are working within a continuum!
