Never seen so many on one necklace this is something spectacular!

The red ones are not on the necklace butgive a nice color splash!

it does look spectacular! Also wonderful that the Zinder crosses seem to be good silver (rare).The necklace like this worn would be very heavy (too heavy for wearing normally). It is, however, a great view and I love it.

yes Harald, the red are not added to the chain. they are more for contrast. i have also as much in talhakimt. big , middle and small ones.

Eva. it is not to wear, it is arround 2 kg.

Ait, if it isnt worn then what is it? an ornament? A way of displaying these wonderful zinder crosses?

Spectacular picture.
