For the pleasure of your eyes is a newly created necklace that incorporates old with new. Based on its name, this necklace was made using 2 pairs of Yemeni filigree silver beads, which date back to the early 1960's. These filigree beads are graced with 3 large ancient Yemeni pink-salmon coral beads at the focal of the necklace.
Incorporated into the necklace are two Yemeni ancient black coral beads embellished by two silver beads. Sterling silver flat corrugated disk spacers offset the multiple diverse textures; and an array of sterling silver beads finish each end of the bead strands.
A hand-twisted sterling hook joins each end of the necklace by two sterling ring loops.
