Oh my, if it is not with you it should be with me! The array of pendants is fabulous. Thank you for showing this.
Yes, LOVE this!
of what region is that? i doubt its originality; I have never seen any people wear the type!!
Interesting you should say that. Its is from Tiznit as far as I know. The elements seem of different ages. It is claimed to be original stringing... But I do not know if it is. Do you think it is made up for export?
It's wonderful and nobody doubts that, but if I am to say the truth, it is not original( as far as i know); i believe it is made up;
Thanks Faysal, I appreciate your observation
Very beautiful! May I ask where did you find it?
I can PM you SImonetta if you accept me as a friend
WOW this is a stunner, can you add more pics showing the complete necklace please?
It is a treasure necklace comprised of elements gathered by the woman and her family over a period of years and added to little by little. Original or not, the elements are absolutely stunning and so varied! I guess you could tell if the original string were still there or, if the person you bought it from was the original owner and gave you a little history of it, but ultimately, with all those superb elements, I don't think it is important because it is your treasure necklace now and you can add to or subtract from it just as much as you want. Eventually all those old strings are going to fall apart and the whole thing would have to be restrung anyway.
