Antique Tibetan Silver and Turquoise Necklace

Catalogue: Estate Jewelry: Ethnic: Far Eastern: Pre 1920   item# 828719

Antique Tibetan Silver and Turquoise Necklace

Ancient Eyes



$795.00 

This antique necklace consists of large (35 mm diameter) carved silver beads mixed with large (20 mm -25 mm diameter) Tibetan turquoise beads and finished with finely detailed silver end caps.

The large silver beads have carved auspicious symbols on them. The silver beads are hollow, but also thick and substantial. They were created in two pieces and put together at the widest point of the bead. They are hand tooled and, although unmarked ( as is a lot of silver from this area) they are of high quality (.800-900 or better). Full return privileges otherwise.

We estimate it to date primarily to the period of 1880-1920.

It is in excellent condition and weighs (both silver and turquoise) about 190 grams (over 6 troy ounces). It measures about 19 inches (48 mm) long stretched out end to end. This short strand with make an impressive choker.

NOTE: Our photos of the silver appear darker than they actually are. The silver is actually a nice even silver tone, not dark as if stored for some time. Not cleaned, just a lighter tone than the photos appear to be.

Ancient Eyes



$850.00 

This Chinese filigree bracelet dates to the early 20th Century about 70- 80 years ago.

It is gilded silver with five wire wrapped sections holding cabachons of turquoise that could be described as Persian turquoise in a pale sea foam green color. It measures 6 3/4 inches in length by 3/4 inch across.

It is in excellent condition with most of the original gilding intact. It is marked silver on the clasp and still retains it's security chain. Four of the five turquoise cabachons are perfectly matched with one just slightly darker, but it appears to be original and not a replacement.
