beautiful and nicely combined with the earrings! What is that middle part above the cross, does it belong to the cross or is it a separate bead ? (Just asked because I have never seen it like this before).
In any case, it makes it special!
Sx
Yess a very nice mix, i guess it is an indian silver bead on top of the cross
@Thanks Ayis for your Input about that bead on top of the cross.
Yes, this is a separate silver bead (I believe it is fr india) which I had for years & didn't know what to do with it has it was top heavy & wouldn't stay put but it found a home here which I was able to anchor in place. Thanks for the input
the coral chunks on the necklace look rather strange!
Ethiopian cross, Indian double amulet, the big coral barrel-shapes on the earrings may be Mediterranean,
The silver button could be native american silver?? but the drops on each earring are definitely typical "squash blossom" native american silver pendant units.
