    Very beautiful and unusual, Peter. Congratulations.
    Is the half-globe part of the closure or is it worn as a focal piece?
    Kind regards, Betty

    Dear Betty; Many thanks for your message. At the beginning I thought that it would be part of the closure but then I have remembered my other piece (picture below) and this is having the half-globe part as a focal piece. Food for thoughts.... Regards. Peter

    What a treasure.  I love the combination of design elements on this necklace.  And, yet another piece I have not seen before.  Many congratulations Peter!
