Tadjik necklace with granulation

Amazing, fine granulation. This piece appears to be very old, though it may have been restrung sometime in the past.

  • splendid piece Hillary. congrats

  • very nice, love the pendant!

  • This is really beautiful!

  • Dear Hillary: Great piece - I really like the center pendant. Regards. Peter
  • Spectacular!

  • Such a nice example, Hillary, with best pendant on one that I`ve seen. They are still to be had out there though often mistitled. I recently acquired one which was described as "tibetian"!

  • Dear Frankie: You are absolutely correct. I just bought one which was listed as Berber or Yemen origin. These Tajik necklaces are so beautiful. Regards. Peter
  • Peter, I think that that one was on eBay, correct?  If so, it is a lovely piece.  I had just purchased this one above, when I found the other one listed as Berber or Yemeni.  

    Frankie, I believe that you have a very similar piece with the same "tumar" but in single style.  I really love the granulation work.

  • You`re right of course, Hillary. But my tumar is neither double nor does it have those great tassle dangles. I love the fine granulation, too.

    My recent "tibetian" one was an eBay buy as well. So such necklaces are not skulking in secret corners. I must say that I found the description of "tibetian" a little alarming as I hadn`t come across the word as an adjective meaning pertaining to Tibet. I`m wondering if it could be a french derivative.
