[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 216441, member: 2844"]Here are some details of antique Yemeni jewellery. The first picture shows several upside down teardrop dangles like your two central pendants. The earrings on the left have little floral discs like your necklace, and Italian coral beads, the pendant on the right has plain silver discs like on your central pendants. The second picture shows the Yemen style bells, which are almost closed balls, unlike Indian bells which are usually more open, split in two distinct halves. Yemen bells often have a little collar between the bell and the ring. Your bells look Yemeni to me. Above the bells more floral discs.
