Lovely necklace ....Did you work out the meaning?
It reads "Dressed or worn in peace, wellness and safety", this is the best i could translate into english
What a great adage! Thanks, Ayis.
This is a necklace for a child (for a girl). For a boy there are danglers at the bottom. See my necklace for a boy :

Thank you all for your comments and particulalry Ayis for the translation.
