AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This finely crafted handmade pendant necklace features a silver-mounted pendant set with turquoise cabochons and a central red stone accent, suspended from a strand of small glass beads in alternating white and amber tones. The pendant is composed of a circular silver plaque decorated with turquoise stones arranged in a radiating floral motif, centered by a faceted red stone, likely glass or garnet, framed within a granulated silver surround.
Below the main pendant, multiple articulated silver chain tassels terminate in small spherical silver drops, creating movement and a soft chiming effect when worn.
The necklace exemplifies ornamental styles associated with traditional adornment from regions of the Middle East, Afghanistan, where turquoise has long been valued for both its aesthetic and symbolic qualities. Based on materials, workmanship, and design, the piece is likely produced in the mid-20th century, though earlier stylistic influences are evident.
