    You are right, Peter: this is something quite different! 

    I saw another Yemen necklace colourful stones recently - must check if I can find it again, you may find it interesting...

    Dear Betty and Ingrid; I have checked out the necklace on eBay. There, the original corals have been changed to colorful beads. However, on this particular necklace, the colorful glass stones are original. There are no signs whatsoever for tampering. Well, it seems that someone had a special taste.... With kind regards. Peter
