Betty @ Anjal or Alaa, These are the beads i had copied recently via a friend in Ethiopia. Done at the workplace of a young Armenian jeweler woman, who carries on her family business in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Real top work and well finished. Just look at the file grain work, but this is most probably done by Ethiopian silver smith under her supervision.
Wow, these are beautiful and very refined, indeed. I recognise some of these pieces from your lovely necklaces...
The central element with the granulation reminds me of some similar pieces I own and which also look quite new-ish. Must dig them out...
beautiful and how they sparkle!!!!
Eva dear, thank you for you lovely comments.they are very well polished by the jeweler, although I have them at least 5 yrs stored. Gr. Ingrid.
