  • Magnificent!, Is this original state or restrung?

  • Patti, there's a great story behind this one. One of the other women on our trip was lucky enough to get a similar necklace first. I loved the look and took it to Mamoun to ask if he could find or create one similar to it at some point in the future. Mamoun and his family strung this for me in a day and actually used elements from Mamoun's brother's wife's necklace! It was unbelievable. And of course the reason they went into all the trouble was because I was with Sarah.
  • congratulations for you and the all family who did this amazing piece of art ( in one day ) and thanks for Sarah who made all possible

  • Wonderful design!

  • Wonderful!!! I also love it.

  • Fantastic piece and so wonderful that you could arrange with a jeweler to make it for you!  Congratulations on your addition to your wonderful collection.

  • Very attractive piece!.

  • Hey Preethi,
    happy to say I was able to find 28 of the small club pendants in Kech ( collected from 4 different people! ) so I gifted them back to Mamoun's sister in law before I left yesterday. He smiled and said 'thank you.... only you and your friends would care so much and also be able to find these! '
    Truly a perfect story from start to finish x
  • Thank you, Sarah, for supplying the happy ending. ;)
