Dear Lynn and Nada; Many thanks for your messages. I am glad you like this necklace - it is very unique and it is definitely rare to find side hirz such as these on such a necklace - very rare. It is one of my favorites together with the one below - I just love the little coral fingers and the glass rings between the silver elements. There are many Omani pieces (funny enough one cannot buy much on eBay or any other auctions for that matter), however, there are these little additions, which make special pieces, next of course to the overall fabulous workmanship. Nowadays, such pieces can only be obtained through special contacts or by luck in one of the souks after looking through hoards of jewelry. With kind regards. Peter
