A beautiful older necklace done with crushed and cut stones and lots of ornate metalwork. Gorgeous and special.

The metal is probably what's called Tibetan silver, which is not in fact silver--it would be an alloy such as copper-tin or copper-nickel. The copper is showing through in the wear on the hook clasp, as pictured.

Copper is good for you! So is turquoise ... This could be a very healing necklace.

For good measurements of various segments, see the photos on the grid mat. Each small square is half an inch. The necklace is about 16.5 inches around--a good choker length. You could extend it with a little length of chain (let me know if you need an extender; I can add one).

I have not polished this piece; the patina is part of the charm for many people.

Condition is very good, with minimal wear showing. One red stone is chipped, as shown; there may be other such spots, but if so, they are hard to find.

From a nonsmoking, pet-loving environment. Thank you for looking!
