  • Sumptious necklace. Really beads above the normal. Very nice.  Gr. Ingrid.

  • Thank you, Ingrid. I do think it`s the nicest piece of jewellery I`ve acquired in a long time.

    With thanks to Hillary.

  • So substantial and yet so elegant! Great find.

  • Toya and Peter, many thanks for your kind words.

    Generally I find that silver jewellery from that part of the world difficult to source.

    I understand that, even in places like Kandy, it is difficult to find. So, of course, I`m thrilled with this piece. And the fact it`s so wearable too!

  • I lobe this silver necklace Frankie! Great. I have this weakness for beautiful silver beads - unfortunately they are getting ever rarer and less affordable... Enjoy!

  • I agree, Betty. Good silver beads are at a premium. WHEN one can find them!
