[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 416603, member: 2844"]This forum is always a good start to the day.:) Time to take it out, wear it, and love it.;) I didn't have much time before the light went (I'm in Europe), and just photographed two relevant pieces I could find. Not the double pendant, but the first one is a silver gilt pendant set with tiny turquoises, supposedly by Harun Bawsani, but not signed. [ATTACH=full]145289[/ATTACH] You can see some filigree and the tiny discs and flowers I mentioned before. This was once part of a necklace made for a Yemeni Jewish bride. Ethnic jewellery often gets taken apart when parts are broken, and the remaining components given a new life. I took a photo of this one because it is a filigree ball, like your necklace has. This is Yemeni though. Again the silver lozenge shapes on top of the filigree, and some granules like your beads have, but in a different configuration. Also the Yemeni favourite, Mediterranean red coral beads, acquired through the coffee trade with Italy: [ATTACH=full]145290[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
