用旧元素制作的拉达克项链 - 银 - 尼泊尔 - 20世纪

This stunning ceremonial tribal necklace, originating from the Ladakh region, has been restrung using old elements, showcasing intricate and decorative silverwork that reflects the craftsmanship typical of the late 19th century. Weighing 295 grams, it features a breathtaking arrangement of large, genuine turquoise and smaller red coral barrel beads, creating a captivating contrast of color and texture.

The necklace is adorned with a variety of hand-crafted silver beads, interspersed between the vibrant stones, and accented with delicate fertility charms that dangle gracefully from the bottom row. As is characteristic of tribal jewelry, the silver content of the beads varies, adding to the unique charm and authenticity of the piece.

Please note, while the silver is unmarked, it has been tested and confirmed to be low-grade silver (800 or less) on the decorative beads. This test was conducted by a jeweler to provide better clarity for potential bidders.

The necklace is secured with a simple yet sturdy silver hook and eye clasp, ensuring both elegance and practicality. This extraordinary antique necklace is not just a piece of jewelry but a rare collector’s item that tells a story of ancient traditions, artistry, and cultural heritage. A true treasure for any jewelry lover.
