Sorry, Chantal but I find hard to read this calligraphy. Maybe one of the native arabic speakers on the blog can help? xx

Very nice, maybe newish?

In arabic it reads " ALLAH KHAIRu HAFEETH WA HUWA ARHAMU ARRAHIMEEN" wich could be translated as:

ALLAH is the best protector and he is indeed the most merciful

Merci for the translation Ayis! I agree, the pendant was more newly done, and the berry beads are antique jewish beads. This was one of the first pieces I bought in Yemen some years ago.
