  • Such a beautiful combination! You really are very creative, Ann. I love how you've mixed in those tiny khamsas.

  • nice material,colors and forms combination. splendid piece

    Preethi, good to see you back :-)

  • Lovely Tribal necklace!!

  • Wooow! Please could I be first on the list if you ever decide to sell this?

  • Frankie, I thought this would be just up your street when I first saw it. It is a splendid thing and with lovely colours.

  • Thelma, you`ve got me well taped! Think I could`ve been close by when the "amber" was bought even.

    Ann, you are such a good colourist. It reflects in your choice of dress, souk bags (!!!), everything.

  • Frankie, Thelma, M.A, Patricia,  thanks for your kind words.  The necklace is lovely and light and Frankie indeed was close-by when I bought the faux amber.  I actually have a strand of "real" amber but would you believe, I prefer this dark brown reddish colour. I think faux amber is just fantastic.

    Frankie you don't need any more Mauritanian beads surely?  I have to admit they are unbelievably nice and wouldn't mind more myself! The design really is a Faouzi design with the little khamsas........... I now have some more designs in my head and also many of the little hamsas, courtesy of Faouzi.  What a good time we had.

    PS.  Frankie the carpet bag makes a good "weekend away" bag, and I love that too.
