Handmade Ethnic Necklaces - Beaded Chocker Necklace with Silver Coral

Sterling silver beaded ethnic Yemenite choker necklace. This handmade necklace is a magnificent work of art and is inspired from an early 20th century original ethnic tribal Jewish festivity necklace known as the "ma'nageh". Worn commonly by Jewish women, this motif has a long history and is found in Pharaonic and African jewelry as well. The end plaques, known as the "tadarif" are decorated with filigree work and granulation common to Yemenite craftsmanship and their geometric design is the focus of attention with a twisted multitude of semi precious beading of carnelian & amber between them. *Handcrafted in Israel*
