very beautiful! I love this type of telsum beads from the Tigray area. that Looks really great! They seem to have been guilded once. A great necklace!
they do look great! and the spacers match very nicely!
Hi Charlotte, I only saw all your display of your telsum collection. You really strung them very tastefully. I also like the locks on the cords. Is that your own invention? The spacers between the telsums look good. I wonder if Betty has noticed these. I know Eva is a great admirer and owner of telsums. A real geast to see your photos. Gr. Ingrid.
Thank you Ingrid! The fastener is modern silver and bayonet style. I like its simplicity so I use them a lot for my own work. I get them and the spacer beads from Cooksongold and here is a link if anyone is interested http://www.cooksongold.com/Findings/Sterling-Silver-Bayonet-Clasp-5...
I have added some more telsums to my collection ;) - I should photograph these too!
Dear Charlotte, Thank you for sharing your source, I d like the simple lock as well. i am going to check if there are also locks available I can use. And the spacers do suit very very with the telsum ethnic style.
Gr. Ingrid.
I agree you did a wonderful artistic job selecting the clasp and spacer beads and arranging the necklace.
