    How lovely - it looks very heavy, but I can imagine that it makes a wonderful sound when the wearer moves.

    Dear Rabah; Many thanks for your comments. This necklace is huge and way over 1kg heavy! I herewith enclose another photo of this necklace, displayed on an antique games table and next to another very large Yemeni necklace. Sorry, the photo is not that great but it shows the sheer size of the necklace. With kind regards. Peter2506022249?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024
