I am offering You Vintage Turkmen Carnelian stone Asyk Heart shape Pendant. Significant in size and weight, traditional Turkmen jewelry objects were made of fine silver, decorated with semi-precious stones, and sometimes gilded with near pure gold for an added color effect and increased value. Cabochons of Carnelian, a rich red colored Agate stone, are popular because they are believed to protect the wearers from illness and death. Carnelian is also believed to promote strong, healthy blood and ease in childbirth. Turquoise is less commonly used among the Turkmen, but serves as a symbol of purity and chastity. In some cases, less expensive glass beads of the same colors are used instead of semi-precious stones.  

Turkmen jewelry is notoriously large and ornate, as is this collectible pendant. The Turkmen Asyk is a unique shape.

Gold gilding covers the surface, highlighting patterns of stylized birds' wings and flames connecting the wearer to nature.

This remarkable pendant was skillfully handcrafted in sturdy silver with a unique design. The front has large Carnelian stones.

Turkmen jewelry is notoriously large, with pieces worn on both the front and back of the body, as well as on the head, arms, and fingers.

Please do not hesitate to contact if you have any questions.
