A lovely arrangement, you did a great job. I also am inspired by Ukrainian jewelry. There is currently a lot of the old coral being sold on eBay due to the worldwide rise in coral prices but it is very expensive!! I think the small fluted beads are from southern Pakistan and northern India rather than Turkoman.
Thank you Lynn. Yes the coral was to expensive for me but I think the glass beads work well and there are som older Polish necklaces of a similar kind that use glass or other artifcial material instead of coral. The silver beads were sold as Afghan so that matches quite well with your suggestion.
Yes there are also old Ukrainian necklaces which use glass or salmon-colored ceramic as well. Here is one.
