  Dear Ingrid. Very beautiful. I really like the silver rod on the top, holding together the necklace and surely providing a great look when worn. Congratulations. Peter

  Very lovely, Ingrid. Could you please explain the distinctive features of this Ethiopian variation? I would really like to be able to spot the ones from Ethiopia ... Thanks a lot for showing this pic....

  Thank you again, Peter and Betty.  Ethiopian pieces are often a lot more simpel than the Yemeni ones. This often with most jewelry, sticking more to the basic as they were when ones imported. Now I am talking about the jewelry which are in common with the whole Red Sea area.  This point does not go up for the telsums or crosses p.e.

  With those they use a lot more their own imagination and invention.

  This is gorgeous Ingrid.  I have only seen these in mixed metal, what a treat to see it in good silver.  The distinctive elements seem to be the upper design, and the uniformity of the middle elements.

  I have a labbeh which was collected in Ethiopia in the 1960s, which looks like Yemenite Jewish work in good silver.  The only distinctive feature was cotton threads passing through each row of bells across the front.  I am in the middle of cleaning and will post when I am done.

  Hi Lynn Ardent, Thank you, you are making me curious to see your Ethiopian Labeh necklace.  You wrote that a sisal string is holding the pieces together, not uncommon, I have also a lovely small pendant with all the bells intact because of the string looped through the bells. Gr. Ingrid.
