Large Vintage Kashmiri Tribal Necklace with Jingle Pendant

Vintage Kashmiri component pieces newly restrung on yarn in a traditional Kashmiri style necklace. Large focal pendant with punched design and five large carnelian / agate insets. Lots of jingling bells. Necklace itself is 14 inches from end to end, ties add another 10 inches, so it is somewhat adjustable in length. Silvery mixed metals are tarnished.  Large and showy.  A beautiful high-impact statement piece or wear with dance costuming for a standout on stage!

The mountainous regions of far northeastern Afghanistan, northern Pakistan, Kashmir and northern India are a trove of jewelry designs. Here many cultures overlap and jewelry styles intertwine and meld, becoming seemingly familiar and yet distinctly different. Materials, techniques and ideas are borrowed, passed along and reworked into amazing pieces.

A NOTE ON THE CONDITION OF TRIBAL ITEMS: Our jewelry is used tribal jewelry, from faraway lands. As used pieces the condition of our items will reflect their prior lives as treasured tribal pieces. Please know that we strive to maintain the tribal allure of our items and therefore we do not clean or repair these pieces in any way. We leave that choice to the buyer, as each may prefer something different. This not only maintains the old, tribal look of each piece that our belly dance customers seek, but also preserves the value of a piece that cleaning might diminish.
