[Description]
This necklace is designed using natural carnelian (agate) beads combined with handcrafted silver spacer and drop elements, reflecting the structural and aesthetic principles of traditional ethnic jewelry. Carnelian, a microcrystalline variety of quartz, has been widely used in Anatolian, Middle Eastern, and Mediterranean ornamentation due to its durability, warm red hues, and symbolic presence in historical adornment practices.
The necklace features uniformly sized round carnelian beads arranged in a balanced sequence. Along the lower section, oval-cut carnelian stones set in silver frames are suspended at regular intervals, forming a classic gerdanlık (collar-style) composition. These silver settings are not decorative exaggerations but functional and protective mounts, consistent with traditional metalworking techniques used to secure natural stones.
The silver components display restrained ornamental detailing aligned with established ethnic jewelry motifs, emphasizing craftsmanship and material integrity rather than modern embellishment. The overall form prioritizes symmetry, proportional spacing, and continuity—key characteristics of historical necklace designs used in ceremonial or cultural contexts.
This piece is best understood as a representation of traditional jewelry craftsmanship, combining natural stone selection, metalwork, and formal design rooted in long-standing cultural practices. It is suitable for collectors, ethnographic interest, or use in contexts where traditional form and material authenticity are valued.

Seller's Story
I have been collecting antique and jewelry since 1978. I love acquiring unique and extraordinary items from various places I visit and assembling them into my collection. However, I feel that it's time for these items to move on to new owners who will appreciate their value. For this purpose, the most suitable platform seems to be Catawiki.
I have knowledge about a wide range of items, including jewelry from different eras, automobiles, and objects reflecting Middle Eastern culture. I have been involved in this field for about 40 years and also own a small yet charming antique and collection shop named "Pavlov's Unique Collection." Over this extended period, I have gained experience and now I'm excited about sharing my accumulated collection with a broader audience and delivering these valuable pieces to their deserving new owners.
