A Return From The Himalayas

I found these pendants on a trip to Tibet, Katmandu and Bhutan. I hand picked each pendant, some found in the markets and others in little stores tucked away in side alleys. The three pendants on the bottom were found for me in the old city of Jerusalem by by my son and daughter-in-law on a recent trip. I think the pieces may have originated in Turkmenistan, and found their way by traders to Jerusalem. The pieces take on a life of their own as I add different kinds of silver or brass chain as well as interesting beads.
