in old time the queen of any twarreg tribe have this kind of nekles with poison in it ,so if any other tribe attack her tribe and want to take her (the queen ) as a slave she suisside imediatly (if you are free woman you became a slave it is a shame for all your tribe)

What a story!! Thanks for the explanation. Something similar was in very early times in Europe with the Roman emperors. So this Necklace is really special - only for the queen!
