This is a Old Silver Tribal pendant. 

The pendant was originally made and worn by the tribal gypsy people of Rajasthan in Northern India. It features the lotus feet of the god Shiva, and is worn for good luck and protection. This is a religious amulet and will have been blessed before being first worn.  I bought the pendant in Rajastan myself. It is 60-150 years old, and is extremely pure fine silver with 98% purity. (To compare sterling silver is 92.5%).

The pendant is  2.7 cm across and 5.6 cm high, including the hoop and dangles.


I will send the pendant on a length of very strong black cotton cord, tied into an adjustable length slip knot. 

 

 

 I have been making my living exclusively from designing and  making jewellery for 9 years. I travel every year to seek out old and tribal silver from Asia and India along with semi-precious stones. Back at home in Brighton, England,  I make these loose pieces up into beautiful and unusal jewellery.

Every item will be send beautifully packaged in a cotton gift bag made especially for me by a women's self help group in India.
