Hi Alaa,Love the inner lot, I bought a couple of them from an Afghan gentleman. Now I know why I like them because I do like the Oman robust style.Thanks for the info. Gr. Ingrid.

PS. Are the barrel shaped beads solid silver?

These are lovely! I agree with Ingrid that the inner strand is great. There is something very pleasing about the proportions and the ratio of smooth silver to chased and granulated.

Thanx.

All the beads are hollow but quite large
