the necklace is growing.Special thanks to Akkie and Hillary and Sarah.The background (someone asked about it) are fresh cola nuts which a friend brought to us the day before from the Niger (where part of my Malian family lives now since the war in Mali, some went to the south of Mali, some went to Niamey in Niger).

Eva, this is a great combination! May I ask what is in the bag underneath. It looks like a fruit or mushrooms.

@Hillary, thanks. The bag underneath contains Cola nuts, which a friend had just brought the day before from the Niger republic (where part of my husbands family lives now since they had to take refuge from Gao (Northeast Mali).

@Thank you all, I added one more bead from Sarah, a special one (triangle with granules, and silver), and will leave it like that now, as it gets heavy. All I want to change is the thread (have to look for a black leather thread. The photo above contains the last bead (the triangle at one end ).
