I will think about how to wear them...... according to Ingrids earlier Pictures of a whole necklace, they are worn on an eyebead necklace. Yesterday I was invited for lunch as it was my birthday, and I could not resist wearing one on a leather string.......(I know it is not conform with the Sidamo to wear it like this, but it was for fun, see Picture).
Two nice of shape and decorated with the eyes Sidamo amulets Eva. It is a protective amulet. It is yours and you can wear them anyway you feel best. Mostly with two but than you have the clicking sound. The way you wear it is nice,sober and dramatic. Well done. Lovely picture. Nice to meet you.
Belated congratulations, Eva! I hope you had a fabulous day. My very best wishes: good health, joy, happiness and good luck with finding lovely jewellery ;-), of course!
Very nice pendants - love the pictures! You look stunning with the shawl and the pendant! Is the beautiful young lady your daughter?
Also from me belated birthday wishes, (I read Betty's comment. Many happy and healthy years to come. On the picture you definitely are glowing. Warm regards ingrid
@thank you all very much! It was a nice birthday, I just had Problems with my Computer...this morning, it is all solved now, it was a loose contact somewhere... It is strange, or perhaps because these Pendants are new for me (?), at the moment I feel that I have to wear them ...... perhaps I Need protection? (I have 3 of them, wearing two would be nice, but as you said, it would make the clicking Sound, unless I attach two in a different height of the string.....will think about it. I am a Little short of time this week. Thanks Betty, yes, it is one of my daughters.
A beautiful girl, she does have your features. Also with the warm smile.
Hope you had a god day. Many happy returns. Yes the photo is great and you both look radiant.
@Thank you all. I bought These amulettes for the collection only, but strange, I feel that I want to wear them daily............ (Before I had not imagined that I would wear them at all........).
Happy birthday from me too, Eva. It looks like a happy day you spent with your daughter. Love the tie-dye shawl or jacket. Just right for the occasion!
@Thank you Thelma! Yes it was a very nice day. Today it was snowing.... drastic weather Change.
Glad that it did not yesterday. Yes, it is a shawl from Africa.
