Beautiful necklace Anna!
Very beautiful, any maker marks on the plaques?
Thank you for the comments. The coins are dated 1872, our calendar, 1293, A.H. It came just this way from Yemen from a dealer that was acting as our agent some years ago. It has a patina of wear on the silver and a brighness that may bespeak a higher content of silver than many of our other pieces. The small medallion pendants are of a lower quality silver, more Bedouin in type, in my opinion.
