Wahhhhhhh, splendid. Very unusual. How do you know its from Ibb? The seller? What a treasure..

Beautifully made, Jose. Yemeni necklaces seem more difficult to find these days. There was another necklace from Ibb, with the same unusual chains, shown here not long ago.

This is most lovely, Jose.I like the flower decorations and fabulous chains. A very accomplished piece.

I also remember the other necklace we saw, Thelma.

@ Chantal: M. Ransom has a similar piece in her book which is described as being from Ibb.

Love this necklace. It looks like a piece that would be owned by a very elegant and strong woman. Lovely
