Antique Multi-Strand Coral Nagaland Necklace
About the Item
We are excited to offer this beautiful and rare coral necklace from Nagaland in Northeastern India on our online store. This necklace is made by the Nagas and has been used in their actual ceremonies, not made for tourists, making it an authentic and valuable piece of cultural heritage.
The necklace is 21.5 inches (54 cm) long and has 50 strands of beads. The clasp is an old Indian coin, adding to the antique charm of the necklace. The beads are made of natural coral and were probably acquired in a trade from Europe and India, dating back to the late 19th to the mid-20th century.
Nagaland is known for its traditional jewelry made from a variety of materials, including carnelian and glass beads, bronze, boar tusks, shells, ivory, conch shells, corals, and cowries. Among the Nagas, necklaces with multiple strands are worn by women, and the thickness of the neckpiece is seen as an indicator of the presumed wealth of the wearer and their family.
This necklace is in excellent museum condition, and its unique design and cultural significance make it a truly gorgeous and valuable piece. It would make a wonderful gift for your loved ones or a perfect addition to your own collection. Don't miss out on the opportunity to own this rare and beautiful necklace.

Noblesse Oblige Studio
Noblesse Oblige specializes in fine jewelry and vintage art. We combine rare semi-precious stones, corals, and pearls with gold and silver to make unique, one-of-a-kind pieces of jewelry. We abide by the classics in jewelry, but the search for new ideas in jewelry design is ongoing, as well as a careful selection of stones is continually being made and carried out.
The manufacture of jewelry made from natural stones has its own subtleties associated primarily with the selection of gems. The gems in the products should be ideally matched in terms of shade, cut quality, and size. In all our jewelry items, we strive to emphasize the natural beauty of the stone, using gold and silver only as a light accent, as an organic addition to the magical internal appeal of the gem. We offer the best collection of vintage beads. Turquoise, corals, garnets, amethysts, lapis lazuli, jades, and other unique gems acquire a variety of shapes and shapes and are impeccable in their radiance and brilliance. We specialize in rare vintage clasps and simply classic antique jewelry.
Each Noblesse Oblige Studio jewelry is hand-made with love. We use solely natural materials. Every piece of our jewelry reflects a unique time and place in the collective consciousness of mankind.
