Description

The listing, Lake Ohrid exclusive-fish-bone-scale-necklace-earring has ended.

ok, this is what I know, you might do better doing a quick Google search and read it for yourself.

This necklace-earring set is exclusive to Ohrid Macedonia (what used to be part of Yugoslavia)

Beads-scales-not sure what to call them are made from a fish that can ONLY BE FOUND in Lake Ohrid, no where else in the world.

Sadly they're starting to get fished out, so the government is starting to restrict how much can be caught.

Beautiful mother of pearl sheen or maybe abalone. Feels like shell, but isn't.

Necklace is made to wear at the collar bone length. Yet, it does have a nice extension on the lobster claw.

All the scales looked to be hand stitched to a fabric on the back. I totally love the necklace, not so much the earrings.

Sadly, I have to much neck-bust to really make this look good.

Also, I'm as pale as a ghost, someone with a nice tan or darker colored would look totally exotic-mysterious.

Now if you do win something else that is mine, I WILL combine orders

Everyone knows the rules, I'm not going to repeat it. Just because I'm a newbie, doesn't mean I don't learn fast. Change your mind? Sorry, credits are mine.

Please, if you have a problem please come to me first, I'd much rather try and work it out.

Thanks for looking .

hope you win it, it really is awesome, imagine a mother of pearl, in a string around your neck, yet, the band they sewed it too, is soft and flexible. I was given this by an ex-boyfriend, so you know

The Ohrid pearl
A secret that has been carefully kept for almost a century. It is the brightness and the uniqueness of the one-of-a-kind Ohrid pearl, a jewel that the city is famous for far and wide. In the old bazaar in Ohrid you can hear many tangled stories about the creation of the pearl. The Talevi family is considered to be one of the rare families that fervently guard the tradition and the single recipe for the manufacturing of this beautiful and unique jewelry.
The secret story of the pearl’s origin begins with the scales of the Ohrid fish – Plasica, but the manner of elaboration and the recipe for the glazing is a family secret passed on only to the male descendants.
It is only known that the recipe was bought in the distant 1924 from a Russian soldier who was staying in Ohrid and the material was brought from Bethlehem by the Talevi family.
Undoubtedly the wonderful pearl carries the secret of its manufacturing hidden within its beauty.
The experts would tell you that this pearl lasts eternally.
Many famous people from the entire world couldn’t resist the glow of the Ohrid pearl. Elizabeth, The Queen of Britain, the former Swedish minister for foreign affairs Anna Lindh, the former Bulgarian minister for foreign affairs Nadezhda Mihailova and many other famous names.
