  • Ha, ha, it was probably me buying them all! My favorite type of necklace.
  • I thought Patti might be the culprit!  I love the colors Toya, especially how the amber-colored glass in the center pendant clearly reflects the color scheme of the phenolic beads.  The touch of modern lightly-frosted glass beads is so refreshing; I very much like how the colors are not perfectly matched, but green on one side and aqua on the other.
  • This is just beautiful...and inspiring!
  • Lovely necklace indeed, very wearable.
  • These pendants are Maybe one of the most wearable old material from morocco. They really stand contemporary redesigning with a lot of elegance.

    Nice work Toya.

  • Thank you all for the appreciative comments. Yes, the word elegant is the best one to describe these old pendants. I was intrigued by the slight diamond shape of the two side pendants and wanted to echo that with the phenolic amber shapes. The green and blue glass beads are vintage, with nice wear and enough scratches on the surface to dull the shine a bit, just as the glass in the Meknes pendants is also worn down.
  • Hi Toya, - I have had little time for posting here during September and October, and am catching up. I think you are creating a strong piece from very good materials - chiefly, but not just, the pendants!
