Sublime. A true artist's work. Love that little Ethiopian element at the back - it fits in beautifully with its north African neighbours.
Wow! Fabulous necklace and I love every single pendant.
Thank you one and all! The cap is from Pakistan - its an old one. The necklace is very light to wear, unlike most of my others, so I forget I am wearing it. Yes the telsum is a nice one with lovely granulation and did you notice the small turquoise bead I added?
Southwestern Native American necklaces were often made of turquoise beads with one red coral bead at the back- for protection!
Fabulous combination - the incised silver against the chunky coral!
Will you ever run out of hamsas?
F, I can't/won't run out as I keep buying them!!!!! I am as bad as you with amber, totally addicted...........Hillary yes you are right and the Nepalese do the same, but not sure it is for the same reason.
Another stunning creation Ann. Have you counted the number of khamsas you have ... in addition to that beautiful khamsa necklace from Faouzi. You are the Khamsa Queen .. with apologies to Abba. But Toya must come close too.
Hi Thelma, no don't know the number of khamsas, I dare not count them! but I also sell some as well........when I am feeling generous, as hard to part with.
