    Can only say what a beauty and interesting also must be striking when you can imagine the back piece also a statement. How  nice the gold plack decorations on the ornaments.. All the special shaped bells, so generrous.  The two red beads corral? Peter, you are unbelievable. You must eat, sleep and dream ethnic jewellery.  Thank you for showing so many of your treasures. Gr. Ingrid.

    Dear Ingrid; Many thanks for your message. I try to make my dreams reality... Yes, the two beads are coral. I have a larger unit, which has rather huge coral pieces. Simply magnificent. With kind regards. Peter

    WOW!  What a magnificent statement!  I now think I recognize units that I have seen separately, used in this necklace.  Amazing.
