About the Item
A striking and intricately crafted bib necklace that draws inspiration from Egyptian and Etruscan styles. This exceptional piece features gold gilded sterling silver, highlighted by genuine coral beads and turquoise accents. The necklace showcases fine craftsmanship, likely created by a skilled Yemeni Jewish silversmith, known for their expert use of traditional techniques and rich detailing.
The necklace’s design is both bold and elegant, with its massive bib construction and fine detailing, including delicate applied wirework and ball beads. The gold gilding lends a luxurious touch, while the natural coral and turquoise provide vibrant color contrasts. Marked on the back (see last photo for details), the piece is a testament to the high level of craftsmanship typical of mid-20th-century Yemeni jewelry.

Condition:
In good vintage condition, with some minor age-related wear that adds to its charm and character. The gold gilding shows some fading and wear, revealing the underlying silver in places. There are a few tiny missing applied wire and ball beads, though these are not easily noticeable. The coral beads, being natural, exhibit slight color variations, adding to their authenticity and uniqueness. The piece also shows light verdigris, typical for vintage gilded silver. A few tiny dings are visible, but they do not detract from the overall beauty of the necklace.
This vintage Yemeni bib necklace is a remarkable example of mid-20th-century craftsmanship, combining bold design with rich cultural influences. Its gold gilded silver setting, combined with genuine coral and turquoise, makes it a distinctive and statement-making piece, perfect for collectors of ethnographic jewelry and those seeking a unique addition to their collection.
