Yes, Thank you! I really felt that were East African rather than from Yemen, though they could have been imported. I suppose that they could have been manufactured in Yemen. Ethiopia has it's own silversmithing traditions too though.

These silver beads are Somalian-Ethiopian (Ogadin) beads. They are the type of beads used between these beautiful (real) amber beads. ( I had several of these strings) have only these silver beads left ,often worn to a sharp erosion at the holes and had to have them repaired with soldering an extra ring around the edge to make them usable again. I love those beads, beautifully decorated and with the more soberness of Ethiopia ans Somalia.
