  • nice jewelry. congratulations.

    the necklace in the top with the silver dangles and rihana chaine is difficult to find too even if it looks vintage. i still have one in the same style. patti has also one like this.

    the midle one is amazing. i like this mix

    the one in bottom is difficult to get also, specialy in good condition like yours.

    thank you for showing

  • Thanks Ait for your comments!! I followed some of the previous discursions on this forum regarding the top necklace.

    May I asked your opinion on the simple coral and enamel pendant necklaces of the other picture? I was told by a Kabylian family that these were used for everyday, meanwhile these other big impressive necklaces were used on festivals. Do you know if that is so?

  • love all of them, well done!

  • Beautiful pieces.  I love the chains itself as well and of course all the little pendants,so attractive and

    well made.  Are these pendants added through the years like it was a fashion here in the Netherlands,little pendants were added with birthdays and other occasions for a little gift.?

  • Hi Ingrid,

    For what I can see, some of the necklaces are made of different pendants of diferent times, but probably the new ones were added when any of the pendants got lost, as each necklace has especific pendants with similar size and age.
