Silver and Coral Necklace from the Nyoma / Chanthang area of Ladakh
Such pieces are usually found in 2 rows of coral and silver - making this triple row unusual!
Also note the coral beads embedded within the silver bits.
Superb antique collectible that can also be worn
Age unknown but estimated to be 50-60 years old
With the prosperity in Ladakh in the recent years, such outstanding heirloom pieces hardly ever come up for sale.
Rare Heirloom Jewelry
