    Yes, this particular one is indeed from North India. Oddly, a very similar form also occurs among the Miao, which is frequently confused with this one, but generally made of less good silver, and a bit more "rigid" in shape. The Miao shape is also good, and a perfectly acceptable article, but should generally cost a bit less.

    The choker comes from Kutch (Gujarat) and its name is dailah.

    I love the simplicity in these pieces.

    Quite so: it is a beautiful piece, and indeed typically from Gujarat.
