Something to bend your neck :), but oh so beautiful. I particularly love the bells and beads in this piece.

Congratulations, Peter.

This is a very beautiful and well-balanced piece. I love all of the detailing like the profuse bells, the small hands, the repousse and the cage beads. I think this might have been made in the same workshop as my one cucumber necklace from the Hadramaut as the hands and bells are exactly the same. Congratulations!

Every element in this necklace, from the bells to the cage beads to the round pendants, is magnificent! Are those reddish dots on the dangles enamel?

Dear All; Many thanks for your comments. Yes, Preethi, the discs, hands of Fatima as well as the top of the hirz are all featuring the same red dots. This is the first time that I am seeing this on such a piece, which is all original. With kind regards. Peter

A most desirable necklace with every bit of it testifying for a great quality and oh boy look at the weight.

Must give every one who wears it a queen look!

Dear Alaa, Many thanks for your message. Yes, this piece is very heavy. I have a similar piece, similar weight, which I have posted here several months ago. There is also a Hadramaut necklace in my collection, which weighs double of this piece.... With best wishes. Peter
