Following our visit to Yeraplur, my fiancé, Nora, a worker from the Monte Melkonian Fund and I went to the Vernisash to look for a necklace and earrings for my fiancé to wear with her wedding dress.

We have been searching for a couple of months for an appropriate necklace. To say the least, it has been a real challenge and until today we had no real results.

After walking around in the scorching sun while eating ice-cream, we singled out one place which had what we were looking for.

This necklace is a replica of an 18th century traditional Armenian necklace which we fell in love with.

The man selling the necklace, Norig, had a easy sell and in fact, didn’t push us at all, saying that before our purchase, we should take a good look around to see if we could find anything better.

Anyway, for those interested in obtaining such a necklace, Norair Sahagyan can be contacted at: 554-134 and 577-704.
