for you Chantal. i use to hang turbans and amulettes on it

Comment by ait ouakli on June 28, 2012 at 12:46

Chantal. it is just a way to pu them together and hang them at the wall. the espresso tastes good while looking at thoes beautiful pieces.

the wood you have is verry nice

Ait, if it isnt worn then what is it? an ornament? A way of displaying these wonderful  zinder crosses?

Spectacular picture.

yes Harald, the red are not added to the chain. they are more for contrast. i have also as much in talhakimt. big , middle and small ones.

Eva. it is not to wear, it is arround 2 kg.

it does look spectacular! Also wonderful that the Zinder crosses seem to be good silver (rare).The necklace like this worn would be very heavy (too heavy for wearing normally). It is, however, a great view and I love it.

Never seen so many on one necklace this is something spectacular!

The red ones are not on the necklace butgive a nice color splash!
