A good piece, Marie-Ange, and very well described!

Patti the one on top is mine and the one with the black coral Yusr beads from Jose M. Perry.

The yusr beads with inset silver are typically Yemeni and quite valuable.--on M-A's necklace

Truly my "cup of tea", as you would know, Marie-Ange!

Thanks a lot Jose, and yes I see much resemblance to them so this puts my necklace even more towards Yemen. Lovely necklace by the way!!

Hello Marie-Ange. This is the Yemeni pendant I was telling you about before. The truth is that my recollection was that it was more similar to yours. In any event I thnik that they may share some background. You should also see the webpage of Beadart Austria under the tag Collector's Gallery. There there is a Yemeni necklace of banded agate beads and a crescent-shape pendant that again, while not the same as yours, they have some resemblance.

beautiful necklace and combination.i think that the pendant is originaly a part of necklace, it has semilitude to some beads

Thanks Jose, somehow this pendant does not belong to the necklace I guess someone added it at one point, but I do not want to break the rope to take it out. yes please if you find a picture of your necklace we can compare them.

Very nice piece, Marie-Ange. I agree with Harald that it seems to have both Yemeni and Omani accents. The pendant, particularly the dangles, reminds me of another one I got from Veronica thought this one is more ellaborate and lavish. If I find a picture of it I will post it. Like your taste!

Hi Harald, I bought it like this many years ago from a seller that sold it as an African necklace, my best guess would be Yemen.
