Telsums restrung

After I heard that the Amulette boxes with dangles are not combined with the telsums, I decided to take them out. I combined them with some of my leather amulettes, and put the small telsums alone on a string... this is how it Looks now. The photo is not so good (electric light).

  • 2506003528?profile=originalthis is, where I put the small Amulette boxes with dangles for the Moment. I have them hanging on my wall.

  • The telsums look very good together in this arrangement.

     

  •  @Thank you,  Toya  

  • @Sarah thank you for the Feature. It was good to learn from Ingrid, that the telsum boxes with dangles (although they were small boxes) are not combined with the usual telsums. I had not known. It became too heavy anyway (to wear it), so it was not bad to take the boxes with the dangles out and put them with a very big box and leather amulettes, which I have hanged at the wall. Perhaps this will protect me / us a little...... (?).  The restrung telsum necklace can be worn, but I will not add more to it, also because of the weight........ (if I buy some more - with the jewellery passion, everything is possible - it would be better to make a second necklace....). So much about this.

  • Eva Baby it gives out a warm aura. I think you did right to remove them. It is now a more restfull combination with the filegree telsums given it swing.  By the way. The boxes with the bells,which you removed are classified as telsums and not as mergaf. (open for discusson though).

    gr. Ingrid.

  • @Ingrid, thanks. I know that the boxes I removed from this necklace were not called Merghafs. Only WHAT are merghafs? Are these perhaps  Muslim boxes or pendants? I really do not know, or perhaps Betty can tell (she once spoke about Merghafs). The pendant on the link below was sold to me as "Merghaf":

    Does it make any sense?
