    This is a low silver necklace but with an absolute great effect!

    Dramatic and beautiful.  I think I have read that this style is always in low silver, due to poor resources in the region it is from.

    Dear Lynn; This is correct. A similar piece is also pictured in Marjorie Ransom's book - also low silver or nickel. With kind regards. Peter

    wonderful piece, the beads are old yemeni sheap and they look used long time, they are for sure smooth in touching
