Iraqi or Iranian Necklace, Detail

Posted by Lynn Ardent on May 30, 2015 at 2:26am

An Iraqi or Iranian necklace made with a central pendant of very worn old silver coins, an Ottoman-style low silver chain, two silver bird-coins with turquoise, and silver bells. The central pendant is 12cm long, but the necklace overall is light weight. The coins that can be made out are old Persian, but this came in a lot that had Iraqi jewelry. Many small features of Levant jewelry like jump rings made of tightly coiled wire and the hook closure. All rings are soldered. More information is welcome!
