if they are relatively good silver, this is a fortune !
this is beautiful. i see that this necklace fits with the bracelets and 1 of crosses you posted. did you buy them from the same dealer or area ??
I got this from Mamoun, who's a member of this forum, and who helped re-create that Saharwi necklace I posted yesterday. I got the bracelet with spikes (the mystery bracelet) from him too, as well as the horn and silver bracelets, but all my other Goulmine/southern Saharan pieces came from other dealers. All of them were purchased in Marrakech.
I have a couple of stunning rings I got from Mamoun too. Will be posting them in the coming days.
Eva, I think it's silver alloy and weighs 150 grams, but not as heavy as if it were made with the regular sized zindar pendants. Each of these pieces is 2 cm long and the inner diameter of the ring is about 0.7 cm. They're cast and then hammered.
It's a very wearable necklace.
