Yemen girl's necklace restrung with additional beads...

This is a first attempt to make the Yemeni necklace shown here earlier a bit longer so that I can wear it. I added some smaller cube shaped bakelite/resin beads, amber coloured resin beads from a tesbih, a few red and black Bohemian glass beads and for contrast a new amazonite donut and an old trade bead of similar colour. I kept in all but one of the original beads.

    Beautiful restringing arrangement. The black beads are a nice addition, and moving the large beads up from their original location will make it more comfortable to wear.

    Thank you. It's still a temporary arrangement as I am not yet entirely happy, but it's fun to wear!

    Love this mixture of colours, Betty. Why are you not happy with it?

    very nice Betty! I just adore the original Long beads at the ends (as used with many necklaces, but I never managed to have These). I love them. Also the colours are beautiful!
