  • Lovely all of them

  • I saw a number of such necklaces in Kandy - a number were old with good wear, but regilded as Sri Lankan women prefer to have the beads dipped and looking shiny new rather than faded and worn.

  • i Hope you got some

    Strange enough, usin gold or gilded elements along with red coral can be found in various points around Indian ocean

    Always a winning combiantion!!

  • Lovely how the texture of the beads echoes the texture of the coral.
