A necklace crafted from an array of unique elements, including an old coin, abundant bells, saint beads, oval clear beads, indigo blue beads, textured brass, and deep red & lapis lazuli beads. The piece adorned with deep red embellishments is likely a Turkish coin, featuring a moon and star motif on the reverse, dated 1991. (Old coin diameter: 1.8cm) The bells, sourced from Thailand, possess a charmingly imperfect, handmade quality. They have been clustered together to create a sense of abundance. This particular set has a patina, with some verdigris visible, adding to their vintage character. (Bell diameter: 0.6-0.8cm) The saint beads, dating back to the early 20th century, are of Bohemian origin. While appearing a muted red in dimmer light, they reveal a captivating, deep crimson hue when illuminated. These beads are intricately decorated with a moon and star pattern. Minor scratches are present, a testament to their age and adding to their unique charm. (Saint bead diameter: 1.3cm) The clear, oval beads are also from early 20th century Bohemia. Their surface bears marks of time, which contribute to their overall evocative aesthetic. The teardrop-shaped and donut-like components are tribal pieces, likely from the Kuchi culture, originally part of decorative items and now considered vintage. The textured beads are brass beads crafted by the Benin people of Africa, showcasing exceptionally fine craftsmanship. Small, ring-shaped brass beads have been sourced from Africa. The blue-green beads are antique "Indo-Pacific beads," with origins tracing back to the 2nd century BC. These particular beads are artifacts unearthed in Indonesia, estimated to be from around the 10th century – over a thousand years old! The deep red and blue beads are antique Venetian beads, dating from the 19th to 20th centuries. This necklace offers an ethnic feel with its harmonious blend of diverse materials in a sophisticated color palette.
