I found these metal jewels in a local market.I was intrigued. They were so dull and I polished them up. I wonder about their history

Very beautiful. The work on the bottom pendants is particularly fine. The bottom three look yemeni.

they look splendid. could be from Yemen, the top one Looks even a bit Ethiopian (as much Ethiopian jewellery originates from Yemen, it could be yemeni too).
