Silver and Amber Yemeni Necklace

Posted by Lynn Ardent on January 31, 2015 at 2:24am

A silver and amber necklace from Yemen. With filigree, granulation, qutub amulet and mulberry "tut" beads (for a sweet life.) I love the contrast between the refined filigree and the tribalism of the amber and the arrangement of the strands. 235 grams.

Dear Lynn; This necklace is very nice. I love the color of the amber - the mix of the silver and amber brings out the best in both of them. With kind regards. Peter

Fancy filigree work I like the various types of beads with lots of fine details and also the four 'heart pendants'. It is nice Lynn that you could find such fancy pieces in such a good condition... Congratulations.

Beautiful beads all of them, and the burned amber look great. You know they van turn to sometimes even darker brown. Looks also pretty heavy altogether. Gosh do I love those beads and bells. The pendant also unusual with the extra pieces attached to it. Well done Lynn. Gr. Ingrid.
