A good day's haul at the antiques market, Cecilia :)) Lucky to find those lovely Ethiopian necklaces with the Muria and telsum beads (Thanks for all the good tuition, Ingrid!) and the shawl pins from South America.... not to mention the currency bracelets. What will you do with them all, I wonder.
Wow a real good find Cecilia, a beautiful Muria in perfect condition looks also good silver. Congratulations. Gr. Ingrid.
Thank you Thelma and Ingrid. Yes I was really happy to find the ethiopian items, the seller had bought hem herself while living in Ethiopia for ten years. The muria beads seem to be quiet good and thick silver. Thelma the currency bracelets will become necklace pendants and the rest will work as is to wear, I'm a great friend of shawls but normally use a tunisian fibula.
