Vintage Indian Choker necklace
About the Item
Old wedding handcrafted choker necklace hails from Sri Lanka or South India and showcases exquisite craftsmanship. Made from gold-gilt silver, the necklace features 19 beautifully crafted closed-back panels, each set with foiled-back gemstones that electronically test positive for tourmaline, though due to their foiled backs, the exact stone type is difficult to confirm. The panels are intricately woven together with a handmade chain, and the necklace is finished with faux pearls that complement the rich design. The back of the necklace includes an adjustable cord, allowing for a customizable fit.
Though unsigned, the piece has been acid-tested for high-quality silver, confirming its authenticity. This necklace dates back to the first half of the 20th century, making it a rare and valuable collectible.
Materials:
Gold Gilt Silver
Foiled-Back Pink Stones (electronically tests for Tourmaline)
Clear Stones (electronically tests for Quartz)
Faux Pearls
Measurements:
Front Necklace Length: 9 inches (adjustable cord on the back)
Width: 3/8 inches
Weight: 52 grams
Condition: This necklace is in good vintage condition, with a heavy age patina on the silver, adding to its character and charm. There is some loss to the gold gilding, consistent with age. The adjustable cord at the back is likely a replacement, and there are no missing stones, though a few of the stones (4-5) show slight nicks/chips, which are not easily noticeable but are worth noting.
Circa: First Half of the 20th Century
This exquisite, rare necklace is a stunning example of traditional South Asian jewelry craftsmanship, combining rich history, intricate detailing, and unique gemstones. Perfect for collectors or those seeking a distinctive, vintage piece with cultural significance.
