I love this necklace! It is big and bold - definitely makes a statement! The antique silver beads are all signed by the silversmith. The copal beads are big and beautiful.

This incredible silver beads are the typical style from the Argoba region in Ethiopia. They are not made any more, and are quite difficult to find.

A gorgeous five-strand necklace made with Ethiopian silver and stunning antique green glass beads. These beads were originally produced in Venice, but were used for many years for trade in Africa.

I found this bracelet in Ethiopia, but it doesn't look Ethiopian to me. I'm not sure where it might be from. The coin has Arabic writing on it, which probably means it came from somewhere on the Arabic Peninsula.

This incredible old silver Ethiopian cross is set with some amazing bone beads I found in Egypt. They are camel bone inlaid with silver, turquoise, and coral. The red and blue beads or old glass beads I found in Ethiopia.

This necklace shouts out “Ethiopia!” the coins are old Ethiopian coins with Amharic writing on them. On either side are old silver Ethiopian crosses. And the rest is Telsum boxes – which are reputed to protect the wearer from evil thoughts.

I love this centerpiece!!! I'm honestly not sure what it is - it is the only one I ever found in Ethiopia. I used African "turquoise" to bring out the beauty of the silver.
