For the pleasure of your eyes is a gorgeous antique Yemenite Badihi choker necklace. The necklace is made using a variety of pendants and droplets which leave the eyes admiring every single part of this masterpiece.
The necklace uses triangle-shaped end pendants with a matching square center inlaid with red glass. Beneath that, a matching half-moon pendant hangs in the center. These pieces all have similar matching granule patterns, which means the pieces are original and intact.
Additionally, antique bulbous pendants are obvious along with smaller 'whale' pendants in between. And hanging from each whale pendant are silver disk pendants with additional detailing of their own.
Two silver filigree leaflets hide behind the center half-moon pendant. Overall, this necklace is so gorgeously detailed with varying pieces of pendants that it leaves one to sit and appreciate each piece. A lovely museum quality item we are very happy to present to you!
Please note: The center bead has an off greenish color. This is actually a pigment from a substance used to artificially attempt to recreate patina. We do not clean our pieces and leave it up to you, the customer, to clean them or keep them as is. If an artificial pigment isn't to your pleasing, you may clean the item using simple household cleaners.
