Dear Peter: This is incredible! And certainly heavy, too....

Wow, Peter, very, very impressive. Congratulations!

Dear Betty and Jose; Many thanks for your comments. This is a very compact and big necklace, with several layers. Hence, yes, it is very heavy. With kind regards. Peter

My goodness Peter, this is something. Not only so many pendants put together but all of extreme superb craftsmanship especially all the granulate work. The back part looks as if it has an extra curtain at the back, I wonder how the chains are attached. Would it be possible to get a view of that?

Gr. Ingrid.

Dear Ingrid; The back "curtains" use the same loops as used for the rings with the little bells and the half moon pieces. Sorry, I have stowed away all my jewelry as I will leave for Geneva tomorrow morning and after tomorrow to Jordan and Saudi Arabia - back to work... I will however gladly take a photo the next time I am at my home. With kind regards. Peter

That is very considerate Peter, but you confirmed more or less the way I thought it worked. Have a safe journey and a good productive period , and of course, we know you mostprobably will meet up with some more exciting pieces which you will share with us. Looking forwards to it. Gr. Ingrid.

Peter, one of the best! A superb find and a great addition to those you already have. Have you ever tried to put together all your Yemeni pieces... there must be many by now
