About the Item

An exceptional necklace made from the metal orb charms of the Minangkabav people of West Sumatra. The charms are hand crafted from brass with a possible gold wash over them - they are likely from the early 20th Century. There is a lovely, subtle patina that will likely develop more with age. The Minangkabav charms are elaborate and substantial and make a truly stunning statement necklace, these beads are threaded through a custom hand braided rope built to stand the test of time and wear. The diameter of each orb is 1.4" by .75"h

Ancient Hellenistic Necklace with Banded Agate and Gold-Charm Beads
Located in London, GB
This stunning necklace dates from the Hellenistic Period. Beginning with the death of Alexander the Great in 323 B.C., the era is renowned for its artistic efflorescence. Gold flooded into the Eastern Mediterranean after Alexander’s conquest of Persia, and with an abundance of material to work with, the skill of Hellenistic jewellers reached new heights of refinement and inspiration. This piece likely dates from the Late Hellenistic period, during which jewellers made innovative use of gemstones within elaborate gold settings. This necklace composed of ancient elements, including 10 gold beads with hanging charms, 28 large natural polished garnet beads and a large central gold capped lozenge shaped banded agate. From the Hellenistic period, this necklace may have originated from Greece or as far East as the Bactriana (modern day Northern Afghanistan, including parts of southwestern Tajikistan and southeastern Uzbekistan). This necklace has been restrung and fitted with an 18ct gold S clasp.
