For Nepalese people, beaded necklaces are an important vehicle for meaning and a fundamental tool for protection against external evils and for connecting with positive energies; therefore, beads are very popular, and many necklaces are often worn layered one on top of the other in a magnificent and chaotic display of abundance and protection against evil forces.
Material: Metal, Coral, Lapis Lazuli and Turquoise.
Number of pieces: 101 Beads

Weight: 140.40 grams (approx.)
Bead size 10x9x8mm to 20x9x9mm (Approx.)
Era: 20th Century
Condition: Very Good (As pictured, photos are part of the description)
Accounts created entirely by hand.
Note:
For Nepalese people, the color of gold or silver metal symbolizes Surya, the sun god, and Chandra, the moon goddess, respectively; for this reason, these two materials must be present in the jewelry worn during ceremonies.
Other very important and ubiquitous symbols in beads and jewelry are coral, lapis lazuli, and turquoise, which are often used to create beads and jewelry. These minerals represent good luck, fertility, and health.
