  • They are so simple beautiful - congratulations Cordelia! Peter

  • I love these humble examples of ethnic adornments. A few years ago I bought some similar necklace in Algeria, and I treasure one of them and use it very often

  • Lovely examples of simple rural necklaces. This type is one of my favorites.

  • Love these simple necklaces, Cordelia. You don't have to wait for a special occasion to wear them! They can become your friends.

  • Cordelia, did you obtain these from one dealer in one place, or from several dealers?

  • Hi Patty, I obtained these from a dealer in Ouarza, not the main one but one of the smaller dealers in those shops in the same arcade. He had a small cache of old things.
  • Hi Cordelia,
    a very, very nice collection, congratulations!
    Best regards
    Paul
