This is a very lovely little necklace, Lynn. I love the way the maker has decorated the buttons with three small blue seed beads. Indeed I like so many aspects of this piece. The metal parts of the necklace seem quite old ... older than the 1980s. Do you think it is possible that the remains of an older necklace have been used to construct this one? I'm interested too in the collar .. its shape and decoration reminded me of the silver torques owned by wealthy Pashtun nomads.... and the three little pom-poms look very like the three rosettes placed on those torques.
hello Lynn,
I cant add anything further than Thelma re: the make up of this necklace, all I can say is that it is a beautiful piece & that I would be over the moon if I myself owned such a one, lucky you! kind regards, zhanna
Dear Lynn; This is a beautiful necklace. I love the Kuchi jewelry with their colorful stones, which make such a great contrast to the silver. Well collected Lynn - congratulations. Peter
