beautiful! I like all the parts that are made in this dainty way with extruding spots, e.g. the round pendants (but also the triangle parts of the big pendants. I have one piece like the big pendant (but without the necklace and all the other pendants).
Good find Angelo. This is a complete wedding necklace of the Wollo Province. Often they have lost their bells, or the bells are often nickel instead of silver. Well done.

Nice one, indeed!
I just found a youtube clip about the Argobba people in Welo /Wollo Province showing a few of these necklaces being worn by young women:

The first necklace turns up at about 4 minutes into the video.
