This is a lovely necklace, so delicate with nice colors.
I love this, too. The other Kabyle pieces you posted are also very attractive. There is something about enamelled silver that I find hard to resist :-))
I suppose these are newer ones? The colours on the old ones are somehow different. Do you know if that's simply due to their age, or perhaps "fashion" or because different materials are used now.
Thank you patti thank you Betty
Betty, if you mean the silver color, it is as i mentionned from a city in the coast, the silver from the coasts is mostly dark because of the fast oxydation. silver is also depending from the cleaning and polishing
the enameling is different because they buy it from different companys and each has own mix of colors
