Beautiful The beads look really very ancient.
was bought for arround 40 years as antique piece.i bought it from the daughter of the owner
chantal, yes they are, and the workman technic is simple, you need only few tools to make them.
i had to clean a lot to let this necklace looking like this, even now, is not yet finish with cleaning.
Lovely, I missed out on this one on Ebay, good for you Ait!!
hi marie ange. i actualy recognised it even if the photo was not so good. i had to clean a lot. as i wrote, it was long time only as decoration at home.
you have also good eye :-)
Hi Ait, how did the large silver and lapis necklace turn out? that one cauth my eye first....
Hi Marie. it is a huge piece. not silver,brass-tin alloy. the lapis is good quality and some pieces are big too, not all ok, some have fissure. to heavy to wear, at least not longer. verry good for decoration. i will make you some photos later on. if it interest you, let me know :-)
Yes I thought it would be very large but still wearable as I always wear all my jewelry, looking forward to your pictures, thanks a lot ;)))
just cleaned it again, and checked all . as i wrote, i got from the daughter of a collector who was traveling for his job and buying items in the origine countries
