North Indian Necklace

Posted by Lynn Ardent on March 3, 2016 at 3:07am

A necklace from North India, likely Rajasthan, in high grade silver. With many chains, each link of which has an applied stamped-granulation design. The chains meet in triangular shaped terminal elements, each one decorated with many bells. One of them opens with a screw.

This looks very elegant Lynn. And the chainwork is exceptional. The amount of time and skill spent in making the chains must have been enormous. I wonder how much the original silversmith charged for his work.

Dear Peter and Thelma, thank you for your kind comments. Thelma I agree the amount of work that went into this is very impressive!
