Beadart-Austria

These are  extraordinary pieces of antique tribal ornament which I have used as pendants to create this necklace.

The pendants were part of  antique Tibetan  earrings worn by women in Lhasa. An entire earring is to be seen in picture 10. The parts I have bought are from enormous earrings as the smaller lotus flower bottom part is already 7 cm long.

When I bought the pair, pieces of silver remained where the top and bottom part were soldered together. See pic 6. I have removed the remaining metal pieces and repolished the ring.

The ear ornaments dates to the mid 1800s to early 1900s.

The necklace is done with natural antique Tibetan turquoise heishi between the two pendants and new Hubei  turquoise irregular heishi beads.

Silver beads and matching screw on silver clasp come from an antique silver necklace. S hook clasp is an alternative as it is easier to close.....

Length of necklace 45 cm

Pendant 70 mm

Please bear in mind that the majority of the beads and ethnic elements I use are OLD or ANTIQUE , even ANCIENT! The show wear and age. I usually mention any defaults in my descriptions but I can overlook a minuscule old chip or dent . As this has happened recently and resulted in a severe dispute with the buyer I want to point out again that I do not use NEW  material (except if stated) and that ethnic elements,  old jewelry parts, etc. might have very minor defaults NOT specially mentioned in the description. I do not accept this as a reason for  a return claiming that the item does not correspond to the description.
