    thank you Marie-Ange.

    I do too!

    The necklace is much larger and I am only showing a part of the collection.

    I am always amazed at the well the ideas that this area's  craftsmen  drawn upon to create metal beads. While they are inspired by cultural influences, this area seems to be able to improvise and  fabricate structurally complex and interesting forms- in my opinion.

    The silver beads are the work of Jewish Moroccan silversmiths and again very beautiful...you have great taste!!

    Did you buy these silver beads in Morocco?  I have had a few that I put into amber necklaces, but mine were very worn and had holes, yours look perfect!

    My favourite of all Moroccan silver beads! I think it is rare to see so many together.

    I love these beads too. Your collection is rather stunning! Love the coral pieces and bracelets-
