Very beautiful, Peter. Such fine work and lovely to see it with the original cloth attached. I also love the amber/resin(?) beads which contrast nicely with the silver and the red of the cloth.
It just inspired me to show my own, more humble, version. Kind regards, Betty.
Hi Peter, What a stunning necklace, and the intriqued work. Certainly not a half work piece. I have never seen it with a cloth behind. What I also admire is the way they have linked the elements with each other preventing loss of a piece. Very thoughtful. I do have one as well (no cloth attached though) and going to have a better look at it, and maybe post it. I love the soft glow in general. Gr. Ingrid.
I love to see these mounted on cloth. The red cloth looks like that supplied years ago by Russia for Central Asia, you see a lot of it in their older jewelry. Now that I think of it, it also looks like the red cloth used to cover the peraks of Ladakhi women. I wonder if it has the some origin. Does anybody know?
