Start price: £5

Estimated price: £5 - £10

Buyer's Premium: 20%

A white metal fringe necklace featuring an intricate multi-layered draped construction in an ethnic fashion. The necklace is designed as a series of floral-shaped stations along the neckline, each formed as a four-petaled flower head with a central circular collet setting containing an opaque turquoise-blue glass bead. Suspended from this top strand is a complex net-like draped structure of curb-link chains arranged in a diamond-grid pattern. The intersections of the chains and the terminal points are decorated with clusters of small spherical bells of ghungroo type. The necklace is secured with a standard spring-ring clasp. The metal surfaces exhibit a significant dark patina and oxidation throughout. The clasp bears a literal impressed mark reading STERLING, indicating the silver content of the fastening component. The main body of the necklace does not bear any further legible marks or stamps.
