  • Hi Sarah,  What a gorgeous necklace.  What is the approximate age of these pieces? What did the glass represent? Piece seems to be mixed with ?old Venetians? Or glass copies?  X

  • These neckalces were made for many years, each one is different in age. This one is 1940 ish from the pic, I don't still have it to study it closer.

    The beads are old venetians and Phenolic resins.

  • I have this necklace, Sarah, and I have often wondered if  the Souss valley people are related to the Ida ou nadif people because of their use of niello and the flat red glass that they use.
