Necklace with Old Tibetan Turquoise, Ancient Agate, Old Chin Silver and Old Orissa Brass, and Colorful White Hearts

*We will be closed from 12/27. We will announce when we reopen. This necklace is crafted by connecting old Tibetan turquoise, ancient agate, old Chin silver, old Orissa brass, and a variety of colorful white hearts. The old Tibetan turquoise is approximately 100 to 200 years old (possibly even older). It was acquired directly from a dealer in Tibet. Turquoise is also known as a "Fallen Skystone." Since ancient times, it has been revered as a sacred stone in various cultures and has even been used medicinally in Tibet. It is a stone that has been passed down and worn for thousands of years. Its unique color variations offer a rich tapestry of expressions. (Turquoise size: 1.2cm H x 0.9cm W x 0.7cm D) The ancient agate, with its beautiful striped patterns against a jet-black body, was unearthed in regions like Pakistan and India along the Indus River, dating back approximately 2,000 years. You can enjoy its lustrous finish and striking stripes! This is a piece of ancient agate in excellent condition. (Ancient Agate size: 0.6cm W x 0.65cm Diameter) The plump, vase-shaped silver beads next to the old Tibetan turquoise are exceptionally rare old Chin silver. These are surviving pieces from around the 18th-19th century, originating from Burma. They were used by Chin women for necklaces and other adornments, showing unique wear and endearing marks. Their substantial feel and presence are incomparable to modern silver (though there are cool modern pieces, of course...). These antique beads have become increasingly sought after in recent years. The beads with a dull golden hue and the anchor-like charms next to the ancient agate are old Orissa brass. These are old brass beads from India. These particular beads are very difficult to find nowadays, making them quite rare! The charms near the clasp are also old pieces from India. The red beads are antique beads called White Hearts. They are named so because of the white core visible at their center. These beads are from Venice, dating back to around the 19th-20th century. This is a richly expressive set of White Hearts, featuring various shades like blood red, amber, vermilion, and gold red! This type of mixed assortment has become increasingly scarce. (White Heart size: 3-4.5mm Diameter) The clasp and small silver beads in between are Karen silver. ◇ Karen Silver ◇ This silver is crafted by a hill tribe living in the Thai-Burmese border region. Each piece is handmade, and the silver is said to be of very high purity. This is a cool necklace that uses colorful White Hearts as accents for old turquoise and agate. Connected with waxed cord, it may feel slightly stiff at first, but it will become softer and more supple with wear.
