Yemeni Lazem with Carnelians

Posted by Lynn Ardent on July 29, 2016 at 11:52pm

A beautiful lazem necklace with carnelians, from Yemen. With four wonderful silver-wrapped carnelians, many little hands and bells, and a single hirz. Most of this necklace is nickel silver, with some pendant elements that are medium and high silver content. By the coins and metal makeup, I believe this dates from the 1950s or 60s. About 200 grams. Many thanks to Tesori Orientali who connected me with this necklace.
