Spectacular necklace, a very refined piece!

Thanks Veronica - Yes this is one of those pieces that sits between KEEP and SELL? Big question - without an answer... :)

Any Idea why the hole in the Amulet piece?

I vote keep for a while and then sell later! It's a great piece. From this angle, it looks to me as though the hole is just a flaw from then the piece was made. We've had Yemeni pieces, beads especially, that have had this before.

Thanks Hillary!

The kutub looks antique, I think the whole is due to the age. Some of them are totally openable from the sides to put texts inside. To keep or not to keep? We all have been there, I think some rare pieces is worth keeping them for a while and then eventually sell them. X
