Beauty!!!!
This is beautiful, looks a little different from the others that I have seen similar to it. These pieces, in my experience, are described as Tadjik or Afghan, and there is usually a smaller pendant. That is not to say that this is not an authentic piece, it just differs slightly from what I am used to. Here is M-A's version.
Here is one described as an Afghan heirloom necklace, it has a larger pendant.
Here is Linda P's. She indicates it is Tadjik or Khyrgiz -- it does have a larger pendant as well so the pendants obviously vary from piece to piece.
Just posted my own version of this lovely necklace.
This is a wonderful piece, and seeing all the attached pictures of other necklaces of this type has really added to the learning experience.
Here is Akkie"s
This has been an informative thread. I don't think this is Uighur, which I guess was my point to begin with. I think Uighur jewelry is very difficult to find, have only seen a few examples of it on the web over a few years time. Cetainly, we would not see this much of it on just one site.
Dear Tribal Heritage and all other members,
I didn't add anything because for me there was no reason for...This piece for me comes from ancient Turkestan ( now Ouighur turkmen from China) ... on my site I have another similar necklace which comes from Tadjikistan: you could see it under the item "Necklaces and pendants"...www.halter-ethnic.com
