Just back from an incredible international buying excursion, I will be listing some great items of jewelry and collectibles over the upcoming weeks (and months). I was lucky enough to acquire some terrific and diverse items sure to appeal to anyone wishing to expand their personal collections! Click on my other auctions to view more of the uncovered treasures exclusively for my eBay customers!
This unique necklace measures about 40" long with a center pendant piece about 1 1/4". I am unsure of its exact age, but it appears to be early to mid century and was part of a collection of antiquities and mideastern items. The original owner passed away nearly 20 years ago, and almost everything was either ancient (Precolumbian) or no later than the early 1900s.
Unmarked, this appears to be sterling or at least 800 silver.

It's comprised of silver sections which have been hand chased with etched chain links connecting them. The various shaped pieces are beautifully enamelled in rich green and red, and silver thread is woven together to make an extendable chain. It appears to be Eastern or Mid Eastern and is probably Indian (from India) or Isreali or another country known for filigree and silver.
In lovely condition, the piece appears all original and free of damage or repair. It can be worn shorter or longer, depending on your personal preference, and other than a cleaning, it is in mint to near mint condition. Sure to appeal to the pickiest of collectors. Feel free to write me directly if you'd like more information or care to share info with me. |
