Huge Antique Yemeni Necklace — Handmade Collectible Tribal Wedding Jewelry from Yemen This remarkable, antique tribal necklace was handcrafted by Yemeni silversmiths, traditionally worn as ceremonial wedding jewelry. It is genuine collectible tribal jewelry — not a new reproduction. The style of necklace is a testament to the renowned skill of Yemeni silversmiths. These large, ceremonial bib-necklaces feature row-upon-row of ornate chain links, beads, and dangling bell pendants. This exceptional piece is a striking example. The detail of the silverwork is remarkable, with dozens of individually articulated drops cascading from a repoussé plaque collar. With a 35cm neck width and 23cm front drop, this is a substantial, statement-sized piece. Designed to sit dramatically across a low décolletage, it makes a captivating impression when worn on a contemporary elegant woman. Length: 23 cm - Total weight: 552 g The clasp bears a 925 silver hallmark. The chain has not been independently tested, so its exact silver content cannot be confirmed and may differ from the clasp.
